NEW BRUNSWICK - A 26-year-old North Brunswick man has been charged with the death of a New Brunswick man who was struck and killed while walking on Livingston Avenue last month.

Daquan White was arrested Wednesday and charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle crash, both second-degree crimes, two counts of hindering apprehension or prosecution, a third-degree crime, and tampering with physical evidence, a fourth-degree, Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and New Brunswick Police Director Anthony A. Caputo said in a news release.

At about 12:40 a.m. April 20, Anthony Cruz-Medina, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene of a hit-and-run crash on Livingston Avenue near Baldwin Street, according to the news release.

A preliminary investigation determined that Cruz-Medina was struck in the roadway by a vehicle traveling south on Livingston Avenue in the direction of North Brunswick, according to an earlier news release.

Police were alerted when a 911 call was received regarding a male body in the roadway.

“Whenever a crash occurs, the drivers involved must stop and call the police. This is especially true when people are injured. To simply drive away when a life may otherwise be saved, is abhorrent.” Carey said in the news release. “We aggressively investigate and prosecute those who leave the scene of any accident and try to cover up their misdeeds.”

White was scheduled to make his first court appearance via video Thursday in New Brunswick Superior Court, the news release stated.

The investigation is continuing and police are seeking information from anyone who may have witnessed the fatal crash.

Anyone with information is asked to call New Brunswick Officer Sean Cahill at 732-745- 5005, or Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office Detective Jonathan Berman at 732-745-4328.
