Nassau County police say the suspect who was the hit-and-run driver that killed one man and injured his brother on Long Island turned himself in to authorities Saturday night.
48-year-old Jose Sorto of East Meadow, surrendered himself to the Third Squad in Williston Park at 7:00 p.m.
According to police, the two men, who are brothers, were crossing Jerusalem Avenue and Leonard Avenue in Uniondale when the maroon car driven by Sorto, struck them around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday and didn't stop.
The unidentified 36-year-old victim was taken by EMS to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. His 49-year-old brother was listed in stable condition with a head injury.
Sorto has been charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an incident and is due to be arraigned Sunday at First District Court in Hempstead.
