SOUTHGATE, Mich. – Raymond John Alkewich, 31, is accused of killing a pregnant Southgate mother in a hit-and-run incident Saturday.
He was arraigned Tuesday and was charged with failure to stop at scene of an accident resulting in death.
The family of 35-year-old Jessica Strother honored her at an emotional vigil Sunday. Her family knows the arraignment won’t bring her back, but they’re hoping it’s a step in the right direction for the grieving family.
“A Detective Stated to the court that Mr. Alkewich did not even have a license on the date of this offense and quite frankly should not have been driving in the first place,” said Judge Elisabeth Mullins in court.
