Woman Kills Man And His Pet While Fleeing From A Different Hit And Run Scene

A woman has been arrested after allegedly running over and killing a man and his dog in a hit-and-run incident while fleeing at a high speed from another hit-and-run incident.

The incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, April 25, shortly before 8 p.m. in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

Police responded to the hit-and-run incident involving a pedestrian, named 25-year-old Michael Farmer of Sandy Springs and his dog, a Catahoula named Bruce.

Police investigation found that Farmer was walking his dog on Hammond Drive near Glenridge Drive in Sandy Springs when a white sedan traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed struck the victim and fled the scene, according to a statement from Sandy Springs Police Department.

Farmer and his dog both died in the accident as a result of the injuries suffered in the collision.

However, during the course of the investigation, Sandy Springs Police Traffic Investigators found that the exact same vehicle had been involved in another hit-and-run incident with a vehicle only minutes before running over Farmer and his dog.

“Sandy Springs Police Traffic Investigators learned that minutes prior to this deadly incident, the same hit-and-run vehicle had been involved in an additional hit-and-run crash with another vehicle while in the area of Roswell Road and I-285,” Sandy Springs Police Department said in a statement on social media.

“The suspect was fleeing the first incident at a high-rate of speed when it struck the pedestrian and his dog; causing fatal injuries to both.”

Sandy Springs Police Department identified the vehicle as a 2020 white Chevy Malibu with Florida tags and were also able to find the vehicle and the owner, 38-year-old Dominque Houston of Newnan, Georgia about 50 miles south of Sandy Springs before placing her under arrest.

Houston was then taken into custody, interviewed by authorities, and subsequently charged with vehicular homicide in the first degree, reckless driving, two counts of hit and run, and one count of following too closely.

She has now been booked into the Fulton County Jail and is awaiting prosecution.
