Police announced the arrest Thursday the man who they say was behind the wheel of a speeding SUV when it struck and killed a woman in the Kingsessing section of Philadelphia Monday night.

The moment was caught on camera by surveillance video from a nearby grocery store. In the video you can see Teal walking home -- crossing the intersection -- when the SUV quickly crosses the screen, hitting Teal.
Jerome Brooks, 45, of Elmira, N.Y. was arraigned Thursday on murder, homicide by vehicle, DUI and related charges, according to court documents.
Police say Brooks never slowed down or stopped after the crash. Police found his heavily damaged Chevy Tahoe abandoned about six blocks away from the scene behind a property on the 4700 block of Larchwood Avenue.
A witness told NBC10 that SUV came careening across the Chester Avenue Bridge, bottomed out and lost control nearly striking the witness before hitting Teal.
Police declared Teal dead on the scene.
"She was a sweet girl, she didn't deserve that," said Teal's friend Loretta Casey.
Teal, who was set to be married, left behind a daughter, six grandchildren. Her fiancée James McClellan hopes justice is served for the driver who killed Teal.
"He should of just stopped," McClellan said. "He'll get his... I'll leave it up to the courts."
