Jose Luis Miranda Nava

A 25-year-old Mission man accused of a deadly May hit-and-run crash has been indicted and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning.

A grand jury indicted Jose Luis Miranda Nava on a charge of collision involving death on July 23 for the May 22 auto-pedestrian crash that killed 54-year-old Juan Carlos Garcia, who was found in the middle of the road at 5:23 a.m. that day in the 500 block of North 29th Street in McAllen.

Responding police found a Chevrolet emblem at the location that investigators believed came from the vehicle that hit Garcia before leaving the scene.

A probable cause affidavit said that detectives made contact with Miranda Nava in the 2600 block of Pecan Boulevard where he admitted to being the driver of a Chevrolet Tahoe that hit Garcia and left the scene.

Investigators further alleged that Miranda Nava returned to the scene to determine whether a person had been involved in the crash and he didn’t report it.

Police also arrested his mother, Alma Delia Nava Resendez, 51, of Mission, who was his passenger, in addition to his father, Jose Luis Miranda Garcia, 52, and his sister, Samantha Adilene Nava, 22, both of Mission.

The affidavit said Miranda Nava had notified his father and sister of the crash.

Miranda Nava’s parents and sister are each charged with failure to report a felony resulting in death.

They are facing misdemeanor charges.

Miranda Nava bailed out of the Hidalgo County Adult Detention Center on July 10 on a $10,000 bond.
