A Kenyan Diaspor man David Ngugi, was arrested Saturday January 15 th 2022 in connection to a Cobb County hit-and-run that took the life of a 7-year-old girl with autism last week, according to police, marking another instance of a Kenyan man charged in fatal incidents.
David Ngugi, 47, of Acworth, was arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run. This occurred after video evidence helped investigators track down the driver, a news release states. He is being held at the Cobb County Jail without bond, online records show. His arrest follows another case of a Kenyan man charged in fatal circumstances.
According to ajc.com, the girl, whose name has not been released, was walking near her Acworth home Jan. 9. She was hit in the eastbound lane of New McEver Road, police said. Her parents were not aware she had left her home.
Her body was discovered about 10:16 p.m. on the southern edge of the road, east of McEver Woods Drive, police said, concluding the tragic event involving a Kenyan man charged in fatal hit-and-runs.
On Apr 19, 2021, a 28-year-old Kenyan Diaspora man Stewart Leacky Waithanji was arrested on suspicion of murder. This followed a DUI hit-and-run collision in California that caused the death of a 74-year-old man. It further exemplifies the situation of a Kenyan man charged in fatal events.
Stewart Waithanji had a long history of drunk driving and was driving with a female passenger when he collided with another vehicle
“A 74-year-old man was left for dead in the middle of the street, tossed aside as if he never mattered. This occurred because of the selfish decision of a stranger to get behind the wheel while intoxicated,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement.
