When he returned to his vehicle and struck Quintus Chen, 3, (video surveillance footage shows that the child’s head cleared the top of the car’s hood and he would have been visible to the driver). Gomez then dragged the child approximately 10 feet before driving off.

3-year-old Quintus Chen sustained severe head and neck trauma and was rushed to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
