Towson, MD – A 21-year-old driver has been arrested in connection with a fatal pedestrian crash that killed a man and his dog last month in Towson, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.
Police announced Tuesday that Oluwajomiloju Sekiteri, 21, faces multiple charges, including negligent manslaughter, following the deadly crash that occurred on November 12.
