Suspect arrested in hit-and-run that killed 68-year-old woman
SALEM, Ore. – Police arrested the man who they said was driving in a hit-and-run crash that killed a 68-year-old Salem woman and injured her son last week.
Officers arrested Brandon Paine-Smith at a home in the 500 block of 22nd Street SE early Wednesday morning. Police said they took him into custody after a brief negotiation. The woman who lives at the home, 46-year-old Kimberly Doan, was arrested on one count of hindering the prosecution.
The crash happened at around 10:45 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of the Lucky Fortune Restaurant at 1401 Lancaster Drive NE, police said.
Paine-Smith and his passenger, Kayla Jo Holden, were inside the Ford Focus when it hit Tom Cheung, 37, and his 68-year-old mother, Kow Lan Cheung-Lin. The family owns the Lucky Fortune restaurant.
Kow Lan Cheung-Lin was taken to a Salem hospital where she died from her injuries. Tom Cheung had minor injuries, police said.
Police said the car was abandoned not far from the restaurant.
Paine-Smith was taken to the Marion County Jail. He faces charges of manslaughter (1st degree), assault (2nd degree), failure to perform duties of a driver and parole violation.
Police are still looking for Kayla Jo Holden. She’s described as a white woman who is 5’4’’ tall and weighs 155 pounds. Police said she has shoulder-length brown hair and hazel eyes. Her hair was dyed red at the time of the crash. She has a felony warrant for parole violation and Holden has a felony warrant for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, police said.
Anyone with information about Holden or the crime is asked to call Salem police at 503-588-6050.
I gotta get me a chest tattoo! Obviously I am missing the latest trend!
I suppose some head doctor will try to get them off. Â He'l try to tell us that they have been terribly wronged by society and weren't responsible for their actions. Â Don't laugh. Â In today's sick world, anything is possible.
I like to see that when they charge for hindering prosecution. Too much of that goes on and yet nothing happens.
The guy drives a stolen car and hten kills the woman and injures her son. Kimberly Doan should be highly ashamed of herself for hiding this perp. How absolutely disgusting. Bet she knows where the other woman is, too (if you can call her a woman).
This seems to be the happening thing in this area, blaze someone down and keep on truckin... Disgusting..Â
The court needs to give one of these low life pos a life sentence to let other wannabes know to stop !
You dumb asses. Even being on probation and all that simply stopping, getting help would have greatly reduced the overall charges/sentence.Â
Let's see here..the family that lost it's Matriarch is Asian, and owns a restaurant and bar, where there is gambling. I'd say there's a real good chance that punk doesn't survive his entire sentence. Â
@STDFlorist They are taking over
@STDFlorist And the down side is?
Its called Malignant narcissism. Some people just have bad wiring in their heads and cant be fixed.
I hope he has a great time in Prison. Such a lack of compassion for his fellow human beings is hard to fathom.
you guys just screwed your lives over big time !
here's a great idea....Hit-N-Run court: Defendants placed in the Memorial Coliseum...family of victims get 5 minutes to run them over with vehicle of their choice....if they survive....another family member gets 4 minutes....and the 3, 2,1....I'm thinking it won't get past 4 minutes, but just in case.
@SKVmutant Rehabilitation: Idiocracy style.
Such a find upstanding pair!!!!
Bonnie and Clod.
Glad they found him. They'll get her too I'm sure, especially with those tatts.
I don't understand how anyone can just drive off after they obviously hurt someone else very badly. I feel terrible for the son that no longer has his mother because of these two low life POS's that need to just fall off a cliff. RIP
Wonderful outstanding citizens that our legal system will have back out killing people in no time.
