Friends and family of hit-and-run victim demand “Justice for Michael”
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Friends and family protested outside the Yuma County Courthouse Monday morning to seek justice for the person that allegedly killed their family member in a hit and run incident.
Michael Guinn was riding a motorcycle on the evening of January 12 when Yuma police said he was hit by another car, causing him to crash and die at the scene.
According to police, the day after the accident, a 28-year-old man turned himself in admitting to being the driver who hit Guinn.
