New York City police arrested and charged a woman with murder Sunday after authorities said she drove over a scooter rider who dinged her side mirror in the Bronx.

NYPD said Lillibeth Vasquez, 28, was taken into custody on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of 23-year-old Robert Jiminez after their road rage incident in the Longwood neighborhood.

Police said the conflict started around 2:20 p.m. Saturday when Mr. Jiminez clipped Ms. Vasquez’s passenger-side mirror.

The two got into an argument before police said Mr. Jiminez rode off going against traffic on a one-way street.

Authorities said Ms. Vasquez then sped up behind the scooter rider and slammed Mr. Jiminez from behind, leaving him mortally injured. The victim died while being treated at the hospital.

Family members told New York’s Daily News that Mr. Jiminez had a baby on the way with his girlfriend.

“I hope she never comes out of jail,” Milton Jiminez, the victim’s father, told the newspaper. “What she did, she’s got the devil inside her.”
