“He got out of the car and he looked at the deceased, got into his car, and made the conscious decision to leave instead of dialling 911, instead of calling an ambulance for the man. He went home and secluded the vehicle. He’s well aware of what he did.” Nassau County Police Detective Lt. Stephen Fitzpatrick reported.

Aside from what was reported by USA Today, Carol’s attorney, Ben Crump, confirmed the lawsuit on social media, letting the public know just how he and the family feel about Charles being confirmed to have been at fault:

“Paul Napoli and I have filed a $150 million lawsuit in the hit-and-run death of Robert Maraj, @NICKIMINAJ's father. Charles Polevich was not only irresponsible and negligent in hitting Maraj, but was more concerned about running away and hiding than seeking help.”

Briefly.co.za previously reported that the police started a search to hunt down the man who caused the accident that killed Nicki’s father.
