SAN DIEGO -- Officials said Thursday that a man accused of killing a young woman in a hit-and-run crash was in the U.S. illegally.
According to prosecutors, Rafael Ramirez Perez, 22, was deported to Mexico in 2006. Perez was in court Thursday in El Cajon for an arraignment in connection with Amy Kortlang's death
Emotions ran high as the family of the victim and the suspect watched Perez walk into the courtroom. Kortlang's family came to court with pictures of her and the crumpled Honda she was driving when she was hit by a drunken driver and killed last week.
Authorities said the driver took off on foot afterward. According to Kristian Troche, the deputy district attorney handling the case, Perez was that driver.
During the arraignment, Perez never looked at Kortlang's family or the few members of his own family who were in court. At one point, he hung his head as the prosecutor described details of the hit-and-run, reported NBC 7/39..
