'Not an accident': Mother of motorcyclist killed in hit-and-run pleads for harsher punishment

"He hit him and kept going," said Cameo Robinson, Beach's mother.

According to the police report, Cruz-Carmona was turning left onto Bonneville Court from New Hope Church Road when he crashed into Beach's motorcycle, which was traveling westbound on New Hope Church Road. Authorities said Cruz-Carmona failed to yield the right of way.

Robinson says she does not see any remorse in Cruz-Carmona.

"This was not an accident. You did this and you kept going," said Robinson.

Cruz-Carmona is being held in the Wake County Detention Center under a $50,000 bond.

Robinson said she does not think the bond or the charge is enough.

"He should be charged with, at least, vehicular homicide," she said.

Officials say Cruz-Carmona is an undocumented immigrant and is under a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer. Because the Wake County Sheriff’s Office does not hold inmates for ICE enforcement, the family is concerned that, if he makes bail, he could flee the country.

Eric Curry with the Wake County Sheriff's Office says it is up to ICE to pick up an inmate before he or she is released.

"We do notify and we make a query to ICE and Homeland Security to at least alert them we may have a person that is not here legally," Curry said.

Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman says, in all cases, prosecutors must go where the facts lead them.

"We have to rely on the evidence and make the determination for what charge is appropriate," she said. "We have an ethical obligation not to pursue charges where there is no evidence."

Freeman says Cruz-Carmona's bond is the maximum for the charge he faces.

Robinson said she feels like authorities have their "hands tied."

"I know it's a hard case, but as for me, yes, I am still angry," she said. "I am looking for all kinds of justice for my son because he did not deserve to die like that."

Freeman said increasing penalties for felony hit-and-run is a conversation lawmakers would need to have at the General Assembly.
