Suspect in Carson hit-and-run crash that killed mother, is still out there
Deputies are still trying to find the man wanted in the hit-and-run deaths of a Carson mother and son three months ago.
Roberto Carlos Paz, 43, left, has been sought since he allegedly ran a red light and crashed into a minivan carrying the Mikasa family on New Year's Day.
The crash occurred about 9 p.m. at Albertoni and Main streets as the family returned home from spending the day with relatives.
Midi Mikasa, 34, and her 4-year-old son, Nathan, died.
The crash injured her husband Mark and Nathan’s twin brother, Lucas.
All efforts so far have failed to find Paz.
“We are just in standby mode waiting to see if he gets picked up on something,” Carson sheriff’s Sgt. Russell Shapley said. “We’ve pretty much done what we can. We are waiting for something to turn up."
Paz is wanted on a $190,000 warrant that charges him with two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, hit-and-run causing death, and reckless driving.
The Carson City Council is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to his conviction.
Anyone who knows where he is should contact deputies at 310-830-1123.
