Mancuso died at the scene of the crash. The suspect allegedly returned to the scene of the crash before leaving again.

A warrant was issued for the arrest of the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Jacob Moore, and MCSO said he surrendered to the MCSO Vehicular Crimes Unit on Monday around 4 p.m.
Sheriff Skinner said Moore had consumed a significant amount of alcohol before the crash.
Moore is being charged with manslaughter and failing to stop at the scene of a crash.
"Our Vehicular Crimes Detectives have worked around the clock for the past few weeks to bring justice for the Mancuso family," Skinner said in a news release. "While I understand this is a difficult situation for everyone involved, I'm proud of our detectives and support personnel in processing the evidence to bring closure to this investigation. MCSO will remain committed to providing educational programs and enforcement services to address traffic safety throughout Maricopa County."
MCSO said the investigation into this crash is still open.
This is a developing story and more details will be added as they are made available.
