Tampa Police Traffic Homicide Detectives have arrested a second suspect in connection with the fatal crash that occurred on June 3, 2024, at the intersection of N Dale Mabry Hwy and W South Ave.

"This is another example of our detectives' unwavering commitment to bringing those responsible for traffic fatalities to justice," said Chief Lee Bercaw. "While we hope these arrests bring some closure to this tragic incident, it should also serve as a stark reminder of everyone's responsibility to share the road safely."

The first suspect, 22-year-old Andy Moya Robaina, was arrested and charged with Vehicular Homicide and Unlawful Racing on a Highway. He was believed to be racing a dark-colored vehicle that fled after the crash.

On June 10, 2024, authorities received information regarding the driver of the black Camaro involved in the incident and arranged a meeting. The driver, 19-year-old Daniel Hernandez (white male born on September 28, 2004), and his passenger then met with detectives.

After an interview, detectives were able to establish probable cause for Hernandez's arrest. He was charged with Vehicular Homicide (leaving the scene), Unlawful Racing on a Highway, Reckless Driving with Serious Bodily Injury, and Leaving the Scene of a Crash with Death.

Hernandez was transported to Orient Road Jail. His 2021 black Chevrolet Camaro was impounded.
