Julio Acevedo, 44, finally turned himself in on March 6 after being wanted by police as the driver in the tragic hit-and-run accident in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that killed Orhodox Jewish couple Raizy and Nathan Glauber, both 21, and their newborn baby that was delivered alive at the scene — but died one day later.

Julio was arrested outside of a Pennsylvania convenience store after approaching police officers. He is being held without bail on charges for leaving the scene of an accident, according to a spokesperson for the New York City Police Department.

Police said Julio was the person driving the BMW that slammed into the cab carrying Raizy and Nathan on March 3 while they were on their way to the hospital. Raizy was seven months pregnant, and even though the couple died, the baby was delivered alive. Tragically, the baby died the next day.

Julio Acevedo Worked With Friend Derreck Hamilton To Surrender

Julio’s friend Derrick Hamilton worked with NYPD Fugitive Apprehension Team to arrange for the accused driver’s arrest at a Turkey Hill Mini Market in Bethlehem, Pa. shortly after 5 p.m., according to the Daily Mail. Derrick met with police at Grand Central Station in New York on March 6, and led them to where Julio was in Pennsylvania.

Along with being charged with fleeing the scene of an accident, Julio could be charged with manslaughter. Julio had spoken to WABC-TV New York over the phone, and said he wanted to turn himself in — but he was scared.

Luckily, he finally did the right thing and will now face the consequences. What do YOU think of Julio turning himself in HollyMoms?

Just days after Raizy and Nathan Glauber, an Orthodox Jewish couple from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, were struck and killed by an oncoming car while riding to the hospital in a cab, the driver who allegedly hit them wants to come forward — but is too scared to surrender just yet.

Julio Acevedo, 44, is suspected in hitting and killing the couple on March 3. Raizy Glauber was pregnant at the time of the accident, and the baby was delivered alive — only to die a day later at the hospital.

The suspected killer was arrested two weeks prior for drunk driving authorities said, according to the New York Post. Cops said it was Julio behind the wheel of the BMW that struck the couple, who were on the way to the hospital so the pregnant woman could meet with her doctor. He was identified by a witness, and was spotted fleeing the scene of the accident on foot.

Julio Acevedo Wants To Turn Himself In

The accused killer spoke to WABC-TV New York on March 5 by phone, and said he feels guilty — and wants to turn himself in.

“I am going to turn myself in,” Acevedo said. “My heart goes out to those. I left the scene and when I did leave the scene I didn’t know anyone died.

“My heart goes out to all of those people that’s feeling like I am so much of a bad guy,” Acevedo said. “And I am truly not. I did not know that occurred until I seen the news. I said I have to get my attorney ready,” he added.

Such a tragedy. We hope justice is served in the case. What do YOU think about Julio turning himself in HollyMoms? Do you think he will?
