“We finally got the call we were waiting for. I think I got it late Friday. He was like, ‘Hey, we got the guy,'" said David Zarrieff, Omar’s brother.
Kelly is charged with hit-and-run causing serious injury. Police said he does not have a license or insurance.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help pay for Zarrieff’s medical bills.
