A follow-up investigation revealed that the suspect's vehicle was captured on CCTV, and footage was immediately disseminated by the Antipolo Police to aid in the identification of the driver.
Within 24 hours of the incident, the Antipolo City Police received information that someone was searching for a side mirror matching the color and a specific brand of vehicle in a social media group for selling car parts.
The individual who posted about the side mirror was identified as the owner of a car repair shop, which the driver involved in the hit-and-run had visited.
Information provided by the driver at the repair shop led to the police identifying him as the suspect.
“Ang kagandahan para itong Cinderella, dala ng mga investigator natin ‘yung nawawalang side mirror at it perfectly fit doon sa sasakyan na suspected po natin,” said Police Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Manongdo, chief of the Antipolo City Police.
The 47-year-old driver claimed he was unaware that he had hit a person. “Hindi ko napansin. Madilim kasi ‘yung kalsada kasi. Naramdaman ‘yung kalabog pero hindi ko rin napansin na tao pala 'yung nasagasaan ko,” the suspect stated.
He further claimed that he only discovered online that his license plate and vehicle were being identified as involved in the hit-and-run, which prompted him to surrender to authorities.
The victim, Oscar Carmona, passed away in the hospital a day after the incident.
“Sobrang sakit po eh. Parang nag-iwan lang siya ng hayop sa daan. Hindi man lang niya tinulungan 'yung tatay namin para madala po siya sa ospital noong araw na ‘yun,” the victim’s daughter lamented.
“Panagutan niya 'yung dapat niya, panagutan sa tatay namin. Gusto lang po namin talaga hustisya para sa ginawa niya sa tatay ko,” the daughter added.
“Sana maawa sila sa akin patawarin nila ako. Nagsisisi po dahil sa nagawa ko ng pagtakas, dapat tinulungan ko 'yung matanda,” the suspect said.
The suspect is now facing charges of reckless imprudence resulting in h0micide.
