INDIANAPOLIS — Police have arrested a man suspected in the hit-and-run death of a man near downtown Indianapolis Saturday.
Detectives arrested 29-year-old Terell Williamson Monday for his alleged role in the crash that killed 47-year-old John Pollard Jr.
Pollard died at the scene.
The crash happened around 4 p.m. Saturday, just east of the intersection of West 16th Street and North Capitol Avenue, which is right by IU Health Methodist Hospital.
Investigators said Williamson was going west in the eastbound lanes on 16th Street when he intentionally swerved up onto the sidewalk, hit Pollard and then drove away.
According to court documents, witnesses told police Williamson ran red lights as he left the scene.
A woman who said she was Williamson's ex-girlfriend told police he contacted her and said he had just killed someone before showing her damage to his car via FaceTime.
She said Williamson asked her to pick him up but she refused. Then, she said he threatened to kill her and multiple family members, court documents state.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make a final determination on charges against Williamson.
Anyone with information about this crash is asked to call Det. Tony Johnson at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or J1305@indy.gov.
