Aurora Man Charged In Fatal Oswego Hit-And-Run: Cops

AURORA, IL — An Aurora man has been charged on multiple counts in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed Oswego High School softball coach Amanda Stanton, 26. Nehemiah Williams, 38, of the 100 block of Gregory St., Aurora, was charged with reckless homicide, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident involving death, and operating a motor vehicle with a revoked driver's license.

Stanton's body was found Sunday near the intersection of Plainfield Rd. and Plainsman Ct. Police say she had been walking down Plainfield Road.

The car that was suspected of fatally striking Stanton — a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica — was located Friday. Law enforcement credited the public with helping them find the vehicle, which connected them with more leads that led up to Williams's arrest.

Williams was taken into custody June 29 and is currently awaiting a bond hearing.

Kendall County Sheriff's Office thanked the public for their help in tracking down Stanton's suspected hit-and-run killer. The sheriff's office said in a news release, "When members of the public take the time to assist us and work with Law Enforcement, it enables us to provide better services and results to the community we serve."
