SAN DIEGO, CA (June 27, 2019) – A man was killed following DUI hit-and-run crash late Thursday evening in San Diego.
 
The fatal incident happened around 11:30 p.m. in a parking lot in the 4600 block of Convoy Street.
 
The victim, 25-year-old Ha Minh Ta, tried to stop Latisha Cherme Ingram, 33, from getting behind the wheel after a night out. Ta held onto Ingram’s car as she backed out of a parking space.
 
Ingram drove away and turned southbound onto Convoy Street, knocking Ta to the ground and running him over with her car.
 
Responding paramedics rushed Ta to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
 
Police arrested Ingram a short time later with multiple charges. The charges include murder, gross vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence, and hit-and-run resulting in death.
 
San Diego Superior Court Judge Jay Bloom set bail at $2.5 million for Ingram, who pleaded not guilty to the charges and is set to return to court on July 15 for a readiness conference.
 
Ingram faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder, Deputy District Attorney Philippa Cunningham said. She said Ingram has a 2010 DUI conviction in Orange County.
