Sunday marked two months since Sister Jacqueline Walsh was mowed down while walking along the road in Water Mill and the suspected driver in the fatal hit-and-run, Carlos Armando Ixpec-Chitay, a 30-year-old undocumented Guatemalan immigrant, remains at large though police maintained this week that they are confident he will be caught.
The search at this point appears to be focused within U.S. borders—and along the West Coast—as a countrywide arrest warrant has been issued by Southampton Town Justice Court and endorsed by a Suffolk County judge.
Once located and arrested, Mr. Ixpec-Chitay faces a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident in which there was a fatality, according to authorities.

have lost such a wonderful and giving individual and still there are NO answers!
May Sister Jackie Rest in Peace. We shall NEVER forget her!!!
I am a pretty understanding individual and know that there are people that do come into the country illegally, and are committed to become citizens, make friends, follow our laws, and start families. Although, I do draw the line when it comes to those that decide to take advantage of our system and have no respect for our society.
One can’t treat all illegal immigrants the same because they’re certainly not. The issue I have with this is more of a fundament issue. This undocumented person comes into the country and probably works off the books for an employer, commits a crime (gets a mug shot picture) and gets to stay in the country. That same person runs over another individual, and flees so they aren’t caught.
I’m not sure if words would express how I’d feel about this scenario if this individual committed a hit and run and one of my loved ones had been killed. It would be bad enough if it were a legal citizen, but an undocumented individual that had already been arrested for another crime severe enough to get a mug shot…As a pretty simple-minded individual I feel that there is something just not right with this case.
This pregnant silence from the authorities continues to grow!
Have a good weekend.
Rest in Peace.
