PITTSBURGH -- Crafton police officer Donnie Breeden, 38, turned himself in at police headquarters on Friday, accompanied by his attorney. An arrest warrant was issued for Breeden charging him with one count each of involuntary manslaughter and accidents involving death or personal injury in the fatal hit-and-run of David Hall, 24, on July 20, 2007.

Police said Hall was struck by a sport utility vehicle while he was walking on West Carson Street near the Duquesne Incline.

Hall reportedly had entered the street to talk to a bus driver and was struck as he was returning to the sidewalk, according to police.

It was reported at the time that the possible driver of the unidentified SUV, briefly returned to the scene and then left. He was described as a short, white male in this 30s. The subsequent investigation revealed that the individual described by witnesses was not the suspect, but was an acquaintance of the suspect inquiring about the condition of the victim.

Police said a break in the case came when homicide detectives received a tip that led them to the individual who was described at the scene of the accident.

Subsequent interviews revealed that Breeden was on his way to meet friends at a night club on the South Side area when he struck Hall, according to police.

Police said Breeden chose to leave the scene without attempting to render aid or notify authorities. Upon an initial inspection of the suspect's vehicle, a 2003 dark grey Chevy Trailblazer, detectives observed evidence that the vehicle had been repaired.

Breeden, a Crafton police officer since 1994, was transported to the Allegheny County Jail and a search warrant was obtained for his vehicle.
