Suspect in NYC hit-and-run that killed baby says he's ready to turn self in

AP / NYPD

This undated photo, provided by the New York City Police Department, shows Julio Acevedo, 44.

The man suspected of killing a young couple and ultimately their newborn son in a hit-and-run crash in New York says he’s ready to turn himself in but is arranging for a lawyer first.

The suspect, Julio Acevedo, also told the Daily News in a telephone interview that his heart goes out to the family. The parents, both 21, died soon after the crash. The baby boy was delivered at the scene and died the next day.

“I didn’t know they died until I saw the news,” Acevedo told the newspaper.

Acevedo, 44, served prison time after a manslaughter conviction in the 1987 shooting death of Kelvin Martin, a Brooklyn criminal and street legend who was known as 50 Cent — the inspiration for the name of the better-known present-day rapper.

The young couple, Nachman and Raizy Glauber, were using a car service and were on their way to the hospital after midnight Sunday when the car was struck by a BMW that police say was driven by Acevedo.

The baby was delivered by emergency cesarean section and died early Monday. He was born about three months premature and was buried later Monday near the graves of his parents, a spokesman for the Glaubers’ Orthodox Jewish community said.

Acevedo told the Daily News that he was fleeing a foe who was shooting at him as he sped through the streets of Brooklyn. Police told the newspaper that there were no reports of gunfire at the time.

Police also told New York newspapers that neither Acevedo nor anyone representing him had called them.

Why was this guy release from prison after previously killing someone else? Way to go justice system. He also looks a lot like George Zimmerman, doesn't he?

Was Julio an illegal immigrant? I read that he was a Dominican that had already been deported once. Why doesn't the news provide that information?

We know all about the victims and already saw the anti-Jewish comments about them. Let's see some details about the killer.

Immigrants are bringing this country down due to a) added crime b) overpopulation competing for jobs and government benefits and c) dishonesty on taxes...especially self-employed and business owners. Close the doors to immigration. We have enough people already. Help our own.

the main reason for hit and run is; if the person was drinking at the time, that would make it a major felony; simple hit and run, he will probably never serve any time, just forfeit his license and pay a fine.

I could care less if he is (no doubt) illegal. But I would like to see him tied to a poll standing in the middle of an intersection and let me drive into him with my car. Maybe we will all get lucky and one of his punk bro's will take him out just for fun.

Well, he's waited long enough for the alcohol and drugs to leave his system, and he can always claim the hired car didn't stop at the intersection. It will be his word against the other driver's and no one to dispute it.

He can walk away from this clean except for leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a license.

someone out there is going to assert that this guy is a victim and should receive understanding and leniency.

that would be part of the reason he is out on the street after the last little murder endeavor.

at what point is the value of life used to weigh against the taking of a life? And what value is assesed? Obviously the ones that died at this guys hand are of less value then he. Otherwise he would have never seen the light of day other than to be buried in an unmarked grave.

Denver...the same as the Supreme Court of the United States at 20weeks the absolute earliest that it could survive outside the womb with intensive care and incubators. That is the law of the land. The law of the land through Roe v Wade says that after 20 weeks the fetus is a baby and cannot be aborted except to save the mother. By law there are no elective late term abortions only those that save mother's life.

For others here in case you didn't know Peurto Ricans are Americans. It is a territory of the US like each of the non-original 13 were. The residents of New Mexico or Arkansas considered themselves Americans as did the people living in Hawaii when it became a state. The people that live in American Samoa are Americans too. Both PR and Samoa have representatives in Congress (that do not vote) PR has recently voted to become a state. Being Puerto Rican will soon be exactly like being a Californian or New Yorker or Kansan.

      Lisa - you got it! Here is a guy that obviously doesn't value life to begin with so what difference would it make to him if the couple/baby died or not - he is worried about his own rear end. He was supposedly being shot at, he was doing 60mph on city streets, he crashes into this poor young couple and runs away so he can hide and finds the time to take in some television. Sadly, this will all end with him watching more television from a jail cell when he should be pushing up dirt.

        Punishment for gun crimes should be changed.

        1. Mandatory 20 years for being in possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

        2. Mandatory 30 years if the gun is used or discharged during a crime.

        3. Mandatory LIFE with the possibility of Death if a death results from the use or discharge of a firearm.

        The three people killed in the accident would still have a chance if that was how we treated criminals, but instead we allow them to cop plea deals and get a slap on the wrist.

          Manslaughter =/= murder. Secondly, the reason Rubashkin was sentenced to 27 years was because he was convicted beyond all reasonable doubt of 86 separate charges stemming from his long life of financial fraud, including bank fraud, mail and fire fraud, and money laundering. Among other things, he was convicted of stealing millions of dollars and intentionally destroying records in an attempt to cover up his thefts. in all, he stole about 35 million dollars from multiple sources.
