Gonzalo Harrell-Gonzalez Cops: Driver Flees After Deadly Car Crash
Young Dustin Inman was a typical 16-year-old, who enjoyed fishing and hunting with his father.
On June 16, 2000, Billy Inman and his wife, son, and dog, were in their Pontiac Grand Am, stopped behind a Ford Bronco at a traffic light, when their car was suddenly struck from behind. The impact from the rear-end collision smashed Inman's Pontiac into the rear of the Bronco. The result was an accordian-like crash scene -- the vehicle was destroyed. Billy's son, Dustin was sitting in the backseat with his dog. Both died at the scene. His wife was permanently disabled.
Police say Gonzalo Harrell-Gonzalez took responsibility for the accident, saying he fell asleep in his car and struck Inman's vehicle from behind.
Harrell-Gonzalez was transported to the North Georgia Medical Center, but checked out and is now running from the law. Police thought he may have fled to his father's residence in Birmingham, Alabama -- and now there could be reason to believe they're right.
False Alarm, Oh Brother!
In September 2005, police went to Harell-Gonzalez's father's house in Birmingham, Ala. looking for him with arrest warrants. When they arrived, they found a man believed to be the fugitive. The man however, claimed to be Harell-Gonzalez's brother. Preliminary x-ray records confirmed the man to be the fugitive and he was taken into custody.
However, just days before his October 2006 trial was set to begin, a more thorough examination of dental records proved that the man in custody in fact was Harell-Gonzalez's brother and not him. Family and police were devastated to learn that Harell-Gonzalez's capture was a false alarm due to mistaken identity.
