Salt Lake City police confirmed Monday that a woman allegedly run down last month by a car driven by her boyfriend has died.
Detectives identified the victim as 24-year-old Audrianna Mains. She died late Sunday night, police said.
On May 24, just before 5 p.m., police were dispatched on a 911 call to 165 W. Mead Ave. Mains, they learned, had been struck by a car driven by her boyfriend, Anthony Robert Vigil, 29, when he allegedly plowed into a crowd of people. Mains was critically injured, while her brother, also hit, escaped with minor injuries.
Witnesses told police that Mains and Vigil, as well as relatives of the woman, had been involved in a domestic argument shortly before Vigil purportedly got into his car and intentionally accelerated into the group.
Vigil sped away from the scene but was later located in neighboring South Salt Lake and arrested.
Vigil had been booked into the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of felony counts of aggravated assault and domestic violence in the presence of a child.
Prosecutors now are expected to screen an additional charge of automobile homicide.
