SEATTLE — King County prosecutors have filed a felony hit and run charge against a 28-year-old man accused of driving the SUV that struck and killed a Seattle bicyclist last July.
Prosecutor’s spokesman Dan Donohoe said Monday that Erlin Garcia-Reyes of suburban Normandy Park remains jailed with bail set at $500,000. His arraignment was set for June 21. If convicted as charged, Garcia-Reyes faces a sentence range of 31 to 41 months.
The victim, 44-year-old Michael Wang, was a photographer who worked for PATH, the Seattle-based world health organization. He commuted by bike to his home in Shoreline.
Wang was struck July 28 by an SUV making a turn. It left the scene.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement put a hold on Garcia-Reyes after his arrest last week.
The Seattle Times reports Garcia-Reyes in a native of Honduras and has been in the United States for five years.
