Monmouth County Man Indicted In Fatal Hit-And-Run: Prosecutor

MILLSTONE, NJ — A Monmouth County man has been indicted in a fatal hit-and-run that occurred in February, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond Santiago said.

Dominic Allen, 23, of Millstone Township, was charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, Santiago said.

The incident occurred on Feb. 11 when members of the Neptune Township and Asbury Park Police Departments responded to a 911 call around 4 p.m. in the area of Stratford Ave. between Fisher and Myrtle Avenues for a report of a person struck by a vehicle, prosecutors said.

Once law enforcement arrived, officers found a man lying in the roadway with severe injuries, Santiago said.

The victim was later identified as Kyzair Robinson, 19, of Asbury Park. Robinson was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center and would later succumb to his injuries on Feb. 12.

A collaborative investigation by members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Bureau and the Asbury Park Police Department later identified Allen as the driver of the vehicle, prosecutors said.

The investigation revealed that the victim was communicating with Allen through the driver’s side window of the vehicle prior to Allen driving away with the victim clinging to and ultimately falling under the vehicle as Allen fled the scene, Santiago said.

Allen was later apprehended in Orlando, Florida, by members of the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force and extradited back to New Jersey, prosecutors said.

He was brought to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, where he remains incarcerated pending future proceedings in Monmouth County Superior Court.
