FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Union City police have announced the arrest of a hit-and-run driver accused of a killing 34-year-old woman.
On Wednesday, Union City police confirmed the arrest of Arcenio Lyndell Shaw, 34, of Riverdale.
He’s charged with homicide by vehicle (leaving the scene) and hit and run resulting in the death of Stephanie Correa, 34, of Union City.
Jail records show that he posted a $35,000 bond, but it’s unclear if he’s retained an attorney.
Police say Shaw was behind the wheel of a 2018 Jeep Cherokee when he struck and killed Correa and kept on driving.
The June 9 incident happened just before 5:30 a.m. along Buffington Road.
Investigators say Correa was riding in a car with her girlfriend when the two got into an argument.
“After that, she exited the vehicle and she was walking along this road,” said Captain Prentice Brooks. “We believe she was headed to work.”
Police determined that after the hit-and-run crash, the suspect told his insurance company that he hit an animal and took his car to a body shop for repairs.
