Charles Michael Johnson III, 30, of Richmond, is accused in a deadly August 24, 2024 crash in San Pablo. Around 8:20 p.m. on the 1300 block of 23rd Street, just north of Richmond High School, Johnson was driving a silver Dodge Charger at a high rate of speed when he veered into the northbound lane and struck a 51-year-old pedestrian who was walking in the roadway. The pedestrian was left fatally injured.

Johnson fled the scene and his unoccupied vehicle was later found in Richmond. He was located, arrested and booked at the Martinez Detention Facility on charges of vehicular manslaughter and felony hit-and-run. The case remains under investigation, and authorities have asked anyone with additional information to come forward.
