HERCULES, CA — Officers on Wednesday night arrested a woman whom they suspect of running over and killing her boyfriend after a quarrel in a Hercules parking lot, according to police.

Police say Desire Borela got into an argument with a man she was dating, identified by the Contra Costa County coroner's office as 22-year-old Ian Irby of Hercules, and then ran him down in the parking lot of a
condominium complex in the 100 block of Glenwood.

A witness called police at about 5:20 p.m. to report that a woman who turned out to be Borela was driving in circles with a man trapped under the car, police said.
