Ramon Arnaldo Chavez-Rodriguez is accused of fatally hitting St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Officer David Lee with his car Sunday morning.
A Honduran man living in the U.S. illegally was charged Monday in the recent death of a St. Louis police officer, local authorities announced.
Chavez-Rodriguez, who authorities say is from Honduras and not a U.S. citizen, was allegedly driving 71 miles per hour at the time of the incident. He lost control of his vehicle before striking Lee, who was thrown several feet, according to charging documents. Chavez-Rodriguez was charged with a DWI resulting in death Monday, along with exceeding posted speed limit and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. He is being held without bond.
My officer was killed in the line of duty, and I am supporting my officers who are grieving and a family that has lost a husband and a father," Tracy said.
