Detectives were able to identify that Ross was driving a white Chevy Equinox when he struck Dorsey around 6:50 p.m. Tuesday.

The vehicle was discovered by police in the 2100 block of Justice Street on Wednesday after a potential license plate number was identified. After locating the vehicle, detectives made contact with Ross.

Detectives were able to secure a confession from Ross. Per the arrest affidavit, "Ross admitted that his vehicle struck the victim and that he left the scene without rendering aid."

According to the report, evidence at the scene showed Ross swerved from the eastbound lanes into the westbound lanes and was operating his vehicle negligently prior to hitting the victim.

Ross was booked into Ouachita Correctional Center Wednesday night. Bail was set at $3 million Thursday.

Ross is a part owner of Ross Foods LLC, the owners of Taco Bandido according to Louisiana Secretary of State filings.

The MPD confirmed the suspect was previously arrested on Oct. 13 on one count of driving under the influence after falling asleep in the drive-thru window of the McDonald's on North 18th Street.

In a provided statement, MPD thanked all of the concerned citizens who checked their outdoor cameras and provided a wealth of information to help to bring this investigation full circle and provide the victims’ family with some degree of comfort in this extremely difficult time.

Copeland Electric has organized a GoFundMe for the Dorsey family. The fundraiser has a $10,000 goal. As of Thursday afternoon, $9,885 was raised.
