In February 2025, Christopher Seabrook, a 28-year-old man from Brooklyn, was arrested for a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred in January 2024. Seabrook had been out on $20,000 bail for a previous offense involving fleeing from the police while armed. The hit-and-run crash resulted in the death of Hayden Wallace and serious injuries to three other individuals. After the incident, Seabrook abandoned his vehicle and fled the scene.
