A Brooklyn man who was arrested Sunday on drunken-driving charges near
the scene of a hit-and-run accident that killed a 13-year-old boy
riding a bicycle was charged yesterday with vehicular manslaughter, the
police said. They said that the boy, Anthony Delgado of Brooklyn, was
struck just after midnight on Sunday at the intersection of Palmetto
Street and Central Avenue in Bushwick. The man, Melvin Morales, 34, was
arrested a short time later, after being stopped for a reason
unconnected to the hit and run, the police said. Investigators said
that evidence on his sport utility vehicle linked it to the hit and
run, and that a surveillance camera had captured images that would
provide evidence against Mr. Morales.
