When a sheriff's deputy found Mingilino, there was a car parked on the shoulder. That car drove off, but was caught on dashcam – and the department shared a picture. Deputies said the driver of that car, Koprovic, saw it on social media and turned himself in.
The sheriff's office said Mingilino hit a semi head-on while driving the wrong way on Green Bay Road earlier that day. It was after he ran from that scene that Koprovic hit and killed him, according to authorities.
