KENT COUNTY, Mich. — A man is will be sentenced after a hit-and-run crash killed a woman, Grand Rapids Police said.
Centell Isom, 24, was arrested and charged with failure to stop at the scene of a crash resulting in death, a felony charge. He pled no contest on Wednesday.
Donna Nguyen, 55, was identified as the victim of the crash.
Isom is accused of hitting and killing Nguyen around 2:10 a.m. on March 17 while driving near 28th Street and Eastern Avenue SE. Investigators said he then drove off, continuing west on 28th Street.
Witnesses described the car to police: a 2019 blue Ford Fusion. Officials released that description to the public days after the crash, saying it would have significant damage to the front passenger side of the vehicle, including a damaged headlight, bumper, hood and fender.
As a third felony offender, prosecutors dismissed a separate case Isom was charged with, also involving fleeing and eluding.
He will learn his sentence on February 6, 2025.
