WORCESTER (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The illegal immigrant who allegedly hit and killed a 26-year-old man in Milford was indicted for murder Friday.
Nicolas D. Guaman is accused in the August death of 23-year-old Matthew J. Denice, who was dragged for a quarter of a mile while trapped beneath Mr. Guaman's truck, according to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.
A Worcester County Grand Jury handed up indictments for second-degree murder, manslaughter while driving a motor vehicle, motor vehicle homicide, wanton or reckless behavior causing risk of serious bodily injury to a child, leaving the scene after a collision causing death, failing to stop for police and operating without a license.
Guaman, 34, was arrested by Milford police after the Aug. 20 collision between a pickup truck driven by Guaman and a motorcycle being operated by Denice. The collision happened at Congress and Fayette streets.
Guaman continued driving after the crash despite witnesses banging on the driver's door and attempting to alert him that Denice was trapped under the truck. Police eventually stopped the truck on Lee Street.
Guaman will be arraigned Nov. 1 in Worcester Superior Court. He is being held on $100,000 bail.
Statement from Denice family:
We believed from the beginning that what happened to Matthew was murder. Matthew was killed by a man who never should have been behind the wheel of a car. We are relieved that the Grand Jury saw the evidence as we did, and we are grateful to prosecutors and law enforcement officials for their hard work in securing the toughest possible charges against Nicolas Guaman. We are confident that today's indictments will pave the way to justice for Matthew.
The family of Matthew Denice.
