A 25-year-old Hialeah man who was out on felony bond in a 2025 vehicular homicide case has been arrested again, this time after a Miami Gardens parking lot crash that injured a 75-year-old woman, according to an arrest report obtained by Local 10 News.
Miami Gardens police arrested Ivan Junior Lealayola on Wednesday in connection with the Nov. 2 incident outside the Wawa at 2700 NW 183rd St. The report says he backed out of a parking space shortly before noon and struck the woman, who was walking behind his vehicle. She had trouble getting up, and he drove away without giving his information or rendering aid, police said. Surveillance cameras at the store recorded the incident.
Police said the woman went to Jackson North Medical Center and was released the same day. She returned two days later with internal bleeding and stayed in the hospital for five more days.
Investigators said Lealayola told bystanders he could not stay because he was on probation, and showed them an ankle monitor. They later determined he was not on probation but was under pretrial monitoring. His driver’s license was suspended, and the car was registered to his girlfriend.
The case follows a September 2025 crash in Doral that killed 18-year-old Angelina Plasencia. Authorities said Lealayola ran a red light at Northwest 58th Street and 72nd Avenue while fleeing police on a motorcycle with three passengers. He was charged with vehicular homicide in December 2025.
As of Thursday, he was held on a $2,500 bond in the new case and remained in custody pending a hearing before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Ariel Rodriguez.
