Baby dies after being killed by drunk driver

I hope they put the murderer of this two year old child away for life. We have to send a strong message, to drunk drivers that their behavior will no longer be tolerated. I know the family is going through a lot of pain and anguish right now. Let's keep them in our prayers.

A toddler injured during a hit-and-run has died.

Angel Jesus Hernandez was arrested near the scene of the accident.

Gissela Silvester, 23 months, was with her mother and was crossing in the 6100 block of Windswept Sunday night when she was hit.

The child was being treated at a local hospital, but died from her injuries Tuesday.

The driver who police say hit the child, Angel Jesus Hernandez, was arrested and charged with failure to stop and render aid and intoxicated assault with a vehicle.

Police say Hernandez, 24, was heading west on Windswept when he hit Gissela on the sidewalk and continued down the street.

He then, police say, crossed into the center of the road, hit an oncoming car, then went into a parking lot and hit two parked cars there.
