UXBRIDGE – The 39-year-old suspect in last week’s fatal hit-and-run on Singletary Avenue took steps to have his damaged vehicle fixed in northeast Connecticut, instead of coming forward or assisting in the investigation, a prosecutor said in court Monday.

Shane A. Newman of 113 Putnam Hill Road was ordered held on $250,000 bail in Uxbridge District Court in connection with the fatality. Mr. Newman was also ordered to wear a GPS monitor, not drive and to have no contact with the victim’s family.

Mr. Newman pleaded not guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in personal injury and death.

The victim, Daniel DeLima, 51, of Millbury, was out for a run early Wednesday on Singletary Avenue when he was struck and killed. His body was found on the lawn outside 138 Singletary Ave.

Members of Mr. DeLima’s grief-stricken family sat in the front two rows of court. They declined to comment.

Mr. Newman also had numerous supporters attend the hearing. A member of Mr. Newman’s family who did not identify himself told reporters as he left the courthouse: “We feel awful for those people. Thank you.”

Mr. Newman was arrested around 3 p.m. Friday on Thompson Road in Webster by state police with the Sturbridge barracks with assistance from Webster police.

According to assistant district attorney Anthony Melia, Sutton police responded to Singletary Avenue for a man lying in a front yard without a shoe and in need of assistance. Police and emergency personnel immediately pronounced him deceased, determining the victim was a runner.

The investigation revealed about 100 feet of debris with more than 50 pieces of a headlight, said Mr. Melia, who asked for $250,000 bail. One of the pieces had a series of digits that indicated the driver was in a 2013 or 2014 Cadillac SRX sport utility vehicle.

Due to the time of the crash shortly after 6 a.m., Sutton police focused the investigation on Cadillac SRX’s whose owners were in Sutton.

A piece of paint transfer on the decedent’s body indicated the SUV was white, Mr. Melia added.

There were two such SUVs owned by town residents. One was immediately ruled out, while the other was registered to the defendant’s father, the prosecutor said.

Police received information that Mr. Newman might be in possession of his father’s SUV, and additional evidence that came out allowed Sutton police to apply for a search warrant of Mr. Newman’s cell phone, to track his location in real time, Mr. Melia said.

Once the warrant was authorized, Sutton police watched as Mr. Newman traveled to Connecticut on Interstate 395, and then to his place of employment off Route 20 in Worcester shortly after midnight Thursday, Mr. Melia said.

Pings of his cellphone stopped in Putnam, the prosecutor said. A be on the lookout was issued.

Mr. Newman was found with the vehicle in question behind a motel. He agreed to have Connecticut state police bring him to Sutton police.

Connecticut authorities seized the vehicle, which had apparent damage to its front right side.

Thursday morning, Mr. Melia said, a co-worker asked Mr. Newman what happened to his vehicle, to which he responded, “I must have hit something.”

The prosecutor also noted that Mr. Newman’s probation record includes two previous leaving the scene accidents.

Mr. Newman’s lawyer, Anthony Salerno, asked for $10,000 bail, given his client’s longtime ties to the community and limited record.

Outside of court, Mr. Salerno spoke to reporters.

“He’s shattered, he’s upset,” the lawyer said of his client.

“You could see from the look on his face that he’s emotionally distraught at this time.”

Mr. Salerno said Mr. Newman didn’t want to make any statements about the victim at this time. “He wants to respect their feelings. He’s a family man himself, so he understands that.”

The lawyer added: “There’s a lot of evidence here that has to be closely looked at. It’s at its infancy stage right now.” Only a probable cause statement had been issued by police, and the forensic evidence needed to be examined, he said.
