Police announced the arrest of a 25-year-old woman Tuesday night in connection with the hit-and-run death of a man in the driveway of the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.
Nadia Pierre-Louis, of North Lauderdale, was booked into the Broward Main Jail on one count of failure to stop and remain at an accident involving a death. She was arrested at 4:48 p.m., said Sgt. Henry Cabrera of the Coconut Creek Police Department.
Jay Edelstein was hit from behind about 6 a.m. Dec. 29 in the driveway of the casino. He suffered head and leg trauma, officials said.
"I have to return to New Jersey...and I really wanted an arrest before I had to go," Edelstein's sister, Sheryl DiDomenico, said Tuesday night about 30 minutes after police called and informed her of the arrest. "I understand accidents, but I cannot comprehend how somebody could hit someone and just leave them lying there. It's horrible."
By 11 p.m. the same day Edelstein was hit, police had located a gray 2003 Toyota Corolla described by witnesses. The car was at an address in North Lauderdale, police said.
Edelstein wasn't a drinker but he frequented a small casino bar where he would order coffee and chat with friends. He used the Seminole Casino as his social club, a Hollywood friend, Karen Tarte, told the Sun Sentinel.
Edelstein was the former owner of a Fort Lauderdale business that installed insulation. He had just moved to a new apartment and was feeling good, said his brother, Mitch Edelstein, of Boynton Beach.
