Officials are expected to upgrade charges against a woman who had been previously charged with hitting a man with a car last month now that the man has died.
Victor Ybarra, 42, of the 4100 block of South Richmond Street who was pronounced dead Tuesday died from head and neck injuries he sustained from being hit by a motor vehicle, according to an autopsy conducted today by the Cook County medical examiner's office.
His death was ruled a homicide.
Ybarra was injured on October 9th at about 5:15 a.m. on the the same block as his home.
Ybarra had an argument with Lorena Rivera, of the 4100 block of South Archer Avenue who allegedly fled in a vehicle but returned and struck Ybarra.
Rivera was previously charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery and leaving the scene of an accident, O'Brien said. He said officials are expected to upgrade those charges now that Ybarra has died and his death has been ruled a homicide.
Rivera remains at the Cook County Jail after being ordered held on $500,000 bail, according to records
