In the latest update about the driver who allegedly killed Nicki Minaj’s dad in a hit and run has been identified.

We reported earlier today (Feb. 17), that he turned himself in. He has now been identified.

According to reports, the man responsible for fatally hitting Robert Miraj, 64, is Charles Polevich, 70, from Long Island, NY. Polevich surrendered to police earlier today, he’s charged with leaving the scene of an accident and tampering with evidence.

During the fatal incident, Polevich reportedly got out of his white 1992 Volvo station wagon after hitting Miraj, stood over him and asked if he was okay, then jumped back into his vehicle and drove off. NYDN reports afterwards Polevich hid his car in his garage and covered the vehicle with a tarp. The report also says Polevic avoided traffic cameras to avoid his car from being discovered.
