A California wealth manager who is a registered representative for LPL Financial and also runs his own advisory firm was charged Wednesday with three felonies, including vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, over a hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of an Oakland man.
On May 9, Timothy Hamano, 64, of Piedmont, California, struck Gregory Turnage Jr., 41, with his Lexus, got out of his car, looked at the severely injured Turnage and took off on foot — leaving behind his wife, who was still in the front passenger seat behind a deployed airbag, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday.
Turnage died from his injuries. Hamano turned himself in one day later, after Oakland police issued a warrant for his arrest.
LPL and Hamano did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday.
