Responding police found a Chevrolet emblem at the location that investigators believed came from the vehicle that hit Garcia before leaving the scene.

A probable cause affidavit said that detectives made contact with Miranda Nava in the 2600 block of Pecan Boulevard where he admitted to being the driver of a Chevrolet Tahoe that hit Garcia and left the scene.

Investigators further alleged that Miranda Nava returned to the scene to determine whether a person had been involved in the crash and he didn’t report it.
