Florida Highway Patrol is looking for Jose Artur Palomino, listed on Florida’s most wanted fugitive list.
Jose Arturo Palomino was driving on February 28, 2009, in a 1996 Silver Mitsubishi Eclipse on I-95 southbound, south of Sample Road in Pompano Beach.
Palomino struck and killed a 23-year-old as she stood next to her vehicle on the shoulder of the roadway.
Palomino fled the scene and abandoned the vehicle in a field at NE 35 Street and NE 8 Avenue in the city of Oakland Park.
Palomino phoned the owner of the vehicle and stated that he was involved in a bad accident and apologized for taking his car without his permission.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of Palomino, for Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving a Death.
Palomino may be using the name of Jose Arturo Arguiello and may have fled to Mexico.
Anyone with information on Palomino’s whereabouts is asked to please contact the FHP at intelligence@flhsmv.gov.
