Baltimore County Police have arrested and charged a man who they say fatally struck a woman with a vehicle.
Police say 39-year-old Gloria Elsy-Restrepo was walking on the sidewalk in her White Marsh neighborhood when Jose Manuel Claros struck her while driving a Dodge pick-up truck. The 40-year-old man says he lost control of the vehicle. Restrepo was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview where she later died of her injuries.
Crash investigators say they contacted detectives after receiving information from witnesses that the accident may have been intentional. Detectives say they learned that Restrepo and Claros had been involved in a domestic relationship in which Claros was using the Dodge Ram under an agreement with Gloria Restrepo, who owned the truck. Jose Claros was allegedly not making payments on the truck as agreed, and Restrepo told him that she was coming to get the vehicle. Detectives say that interviews with witnesses and Claros led to their determination that he intentionally struck and killed her.
Jose Claros has been charged with first-degree murder. He is being detained at the Baltimore County Detention Center on denied bail, and is awaiting a bail review.
