WARREN, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man accused of fleeing the scene after hitting and killing a 5-year-old boy in Warren was charged Thursday.

Police say Maurice Sumler, 22, hit Preston Singleton as the child crossed Van Dyke on his bike Tuesday night. Sumler is charged with leaving the scene of an accident causing death.

If convicted, Sumler could spend 15 years in prison.

"Because my nephew will never see three meals a day again. My nephew will never have a cement slab to sleep on. That was his last cement slab right there."
