SARASOTA, Fla. - Five men from Miami have been charged after a 2023 hit-and-run that killed a Sarasota man, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.

The backstory:

Back in April 2023, investigators say the five men traveled from Miami to Sarasota and stole 22 catalytic converters from work vehicles.

The theft, estimated at about $94,000, happened at All Glass and Windows and Arrow Environmental Services.

As deputies responded to the burglary in progress, the suspects drove off in a dark-colored Audi.

That's when deputies say the driver, Edwin Norris, ran a red light and collided with 21-year-old Leonardo Adams, who was on a motorcycle.

Adams died from his injuries.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office says Norris never rendered aid after the crash and the Audi was later found abandoned on the shoulder of I-75 near Fruitville Rd.
