Generate Key Takeaways The man accused of hitting two people, killing one of them, was not supposed to be driving on the roads, court documents say. On April 18, a couple was walking in a crosswalk at Martin Luther King Jr Way and S Alaska Street when they were both hit by a motorcycle. That motorcycle sped off and didn't stop to check on the couple. Both victims were taken to a hospital, where the 57-year-old woman later died from her injuries. Family put out a reward to help locate a suspect. A GoFundMe for the woman, Min Huang, has reached over $100,000. Min Huang's husband is still recovering. Thanks to tips and videos from the public, police were able to track down a suspect and arrest him. Tyler O'Brien, 44, was arrested on May 5 in connection to the hit-and-run. He had recently been arrested on April 25 for an unrelated crime. According to court documents, O'Brien was riding his motorcycle at the MLK Jr Way intersection with S. Alaska Street. He allegedly rode into the left turn only lane, waited for traffic to clear and then deliberately rode through the red light, into the southbound lanes, hitting the couple, court documents said. Investigators said they were able to ping O'Brien's phone near the crash at the time it occurred, and were able to follow his route through Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) cameras, according to court documents. The motorcycle allegedly involved in the crash was found at an abandoned property and had a tarp covering it, court documents said. O'Brien was arrested on May 5 and is currently at Harborview Medical Center for treatment for an ailment he had before his arrest. When he is released, he will be charged with felony hit-and-run, vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, and third-degree driving with a license suspended or revoked.

Suspect in South Seattle motorcycle hit-and-run arrested
Police arrested a 43-year-old Seattle man Monday, suspected of hitting and killing a 57-year-old woman and badly hurting her husband. The crash happened two-and-a-half weeks ago on Martin Luther King Junior Way South and South Alaska Street. Fifty-seven-year-old Min Huang died a day and a half later. Her husband is still recovering from his injuries. Seattle Police took the suspect to Harborview Medical Center to be treated for an ailment they say he had before his arrest. The fact that he is in custody is causing people here to breathe a big sigh of relief. 'They got him?' exclaimed Cheryl Aguirre, who lives nearby. 'That's really neat.' That reaction to a big break in this deadly hit-and-run: a motorcycle driver struck a middle-aged couple in the crosswalk and never stopped. Surveillance video shows 57-year-old Min Huang and her 59-year-old husband going down. But KIRO 7 stopped the video before impact. Huang hung on for just a day and a half. She died on Easter Sunday. 'Detectives have made an arrest,' said Seattle Police Detective Eric Munoz. He announced the arrest Monday afternoon 'of a 43-year-old man responsible for the fatality hit and run that occurred a couple of weeks ago.' This comes after Seattle Police released a clearer photograph of the suspect and his motorcycle, sparking a remarkable reaction from the public. 'Many tips came in that helped us to identify the make and model and year of that motorcycle,' said Munoz. 'We received additional tips for suspect information.' That arrest came hours after an 83-year-old woman was struck and killed Monday morning at 4th Avenue South and South Spokane Street in Seattle. Investigators say the woman was walking westbound in the crosswalk at about 7:45 a.m. when a jeep turned into her path and kept going. Still, news of the arrest in this hit-and-run has heartened this South Seattle neighborhood. 'Yeah, that's good,' Kade Westover, Seattle. 'Yeah, I mean that's pretty disgusting that someone would do something like that.' In a statement, Min Huang's family thanked police and the public for their dedication and hard work to find the suspect during 'one of the darkest times in our lives.'
