On August 27th 2021, Miriam Nkuba DOB 6/30/56 came to Newton Police Headquarters to report a past hit and run. Nkuba states that around 1500 hrs today, she was shopping in Star Market at 1 Boyston St. When she exited the store and returned to her vehicle in the lot (MA reg 7CNJ50), there were security workers cleaning debris from around her car. Immediately apparent was damage to the rear left tail light/bumper area. The security workers then directed Nkuba to witness Kate Sweeney, who was able to provide a picture of MA reg 4AX435, a black Chevrolet Suburban. Sweeney told Nkuba that the Suburban had hit her car and left the scene. I called Sweeney and spoke with her directly. She relayed that she was in a nearby store and heard a loud crash. Her attention was directed outside to a black Suburban slowly driving with obvious front passenger side damage. The vehicle then stopped in a parking space, and a heavy set woman exited from the driver's seat to inspect the damage on the front right side. The woman then got back into the vehicle and drove away in an unknown direction. 4AX435 comes back active on a 2012 Chevrolet Suburban color black to Maria Dasilva Alves out of West Roxbury. I requested Boston PD E-5 try and raise Alves and have her contact me. It should be noted that Alves has an expired/non renewable license and appears from her license photo to be heavy set. Charges pending. *Update, 8/28/21- Boston PD had negative results locating Alves or the vehicle. Based on corroborating statements by the witness, MA uniform citation T1446618 will be mailed to Alves for 90/24 Leaving the Scene of Property Damage and 90/10 Unlicensed Operation.
