Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Amber Lynn Corrao, 31, was taken onto custody and booked in the Milwaukee County jail. Corrao was previously charged with one felony count for hit-and-run involving death for the March 25, 2021 vehicular homicide of Miguel Angel Serrano Santiago, 41. A warrant had been issued for Corrao who fled to avoid prosecution.
Corrao was charged on April 4, 2022 with one felony count of hit-and-run involving death. If convicted, Corrao is facing up to 25 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines.
On March 25th, Corrao while driving her blue jeep liberty at the 2000 block of W. Grant Street, she struck Serrano Santiago who was on a bicycle and didn't stop to render aid. She then fled the scene. Serrano Santiago died at the scene.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office ruled that Serrano Santiago died from blunt force trauma.
Milwaukee police on March 30 located her jeep in Marinette County with damage to the front of the jeep. The criminal complaint says, that Corrao exited a home near where her jeep was found and told police that the damage was caused from a previous accident. While under questioning by police, she admitted of driving the jeep, but only remembered striking something and didn't stop to investigate. Shortly after, she then changed her story and told police that her boyfriend was driving the jeep on March 25th. Police arrested her boyfriend and police later found that Corrao was the actual driver when the deadly hit-and-run occurred.
When police went to arrest Corrao for the hit-and-run vehicular homicide in Milwaukee, she had disappeared and a warrant for her arrest was issued.
Update:
On April 22, 2022, Corrao's bail was set at $7,500 cash. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 28, 2022, according to court records.
