RPD: Man dies after being run over by car on city’s north side

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — A man was killed Friday night after police say he was run over by a car on the city’s north side.

The crash happened around 7:30 p.m. on Remington and Morrill streets.

Police say 20-year old Jaden Lewis was found lying in the street suffering from an injury to his lower body. EMS was already on scene and told officers that the man’s injuries were consistent with a gunshot wound.

Lewis was rushed to Strong Memorial Hospital and shortly after arrival, he was pronounced dead.

During the preliminary investigation, police learned that Lewis had been struck by a vehicle and run over. Investigators found no evidence that a shooting had taken place nor could they find any evidence that Lewis had been shot.

Police say Lewis clung to the hood of a parked car while the car was on Remington Street near Avenue D. The driver of the car, 20-year old Miana Blake, then drove the car south on Remington Street. Lewis then fell off the hood and was run over by the car.

Blake did pull over and waited for the police to arrive.

Blake was charged with criminally negligent homicide. She was remanded to the Monroe County Jail and was arraigned Saturday.
