Plano Pedestrian Accident Leads to Murder Charges

Posted on Oct 08, 2011

A Plano pedestrian accident involving an argument claimed the life of a man after police found the victim bleeding in a nearby field. The incident took place at approximately 7:00 on Monday evening, September 29, 2011, in the 1700 block of Alma Drive.

According to reports, police discovered 21-year-old Ashton Vincent Williams bleeding heavily in a field along Alma Drive. Rescue crews transported Mr. Williams to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead from injuries sustained in the accident.

Witnesses report that Mr. Williams had been struck by a car with two occupants inside. The car allegedly fled the accident scene.

Detectives eventually tracked down the driver, 21-year-old Jesus Antonio De Santiago, and arrested him. He was booked into the Collin County Detention Center and charged with murder.

Police have yet to release the identity of the second occupant in the car. It is unclear whether the suspect will face any charges or not.

The fatal Plano pedestrian accident remains under investigation by local authorities. Police believe the incident was a result of an argument.

This is a tragic accident, and we extend our thoughts and condolences to Mr. Williams' family and friends during this difficult time.
