A 37-year-old suspected drunken driver who allegedly fled after he struck a pedestrian in University Heights three months ago has been arrested on suspicion of murder and other charges.
Brandon Allen Janik of San Diego was arrested Tuesday in Hillcrest in connection with the death of 47-year-old Joshua Gilliland, San Diego police said. At about 8:45 p.m. on June 10, a car hit Gilliland in the three-way intersection of Normal Street and El Cajon and Park boulevards, about a mile north of Balboa Park, according to police Sgt. Victoria Houseman.Paramedics took Gilliland to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries four days later.
Detectives eventually were able to identify Janik as the alleged driver of the vehicle — a 2022 BMW — that struck the victim. Police did not disclose the evidence that led investigators to make that determination. Janik was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of murder, felony DUI, hit-and-run, gross vehicular manslaughter and three counts of making false insurance claims about a vehicle. He was being held without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
