PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A suspected hit-and-run driver accused of killing a pedestrian in Philadelphia's Port Richmond last month turned himself in to police on Thursday.

Tragically, this is the second child the Panas' have lost. In 2009, their son Billy was shot and killed by off-duty Philadelphia police officer Frank Tepper during a fight that had erupted outside his home during a baby shower.
Tepper was convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of the 21-year-old in 2012.
