South San Francisco police announced Tuesday an international arrest in a nearly 9-year-old hit-and-run case that left a woman dead.
On Nov. 11, 2017, 44-year-old Teresa Gonzales was hit by a vehicle just before midnight on the 200 block of El Camino Real.
Gonzales later died at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, according to police.
Investigators identified a 23-year-old delivery driver, Maher Abedelal of San Francisco, as a suspect but he allegedly fled the country soon after the collision, police said in a news release Tuesday.
Abedelal was recently found in Israel and returned to the Bay Area last week with the help of Israeli police and the country’s Ministry of Justice, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice and the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Abedelal is being held without bail at the San Mateo County Jail on suspicion of hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter.
His first court date is scheduled for Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. in San Mateo County Superior Court.
