David Martinez-Campa Arrested in Hit-and-Run Death of Michael Hartman

Tucson, Arizona—On Friday, I wrote about the hit-and-run collision that killed Michael Hartman. Mr. Hartman was riding his skateboard near the intersection of Swan and Valencia when he was hit by a vehicle that then fled the scene of the crash.

Officers with the Pima County Sheriff's Office arrested David Martinez-Campa on Monday and charged him in connection with the hit-and-run accident. Mr. Martinez-Campa apparently made statements that incriminated himself to detectives investigating the crash. He was booked into the Pima County Jail and charged with one count of leaving the scene of an accident involving serious injury or death.

Although Mr. Martinez-Campa is now facing charges, detectives still are requesting that anybody with information helpful to the investigation contact the Pima County Sheriff's Office.

We again offer our deepest sympathy to Mr. Hartman’s family over this tragic loss.
