A 33-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of felony drunken driving after she allegedly ran over and fatally injured a man who had been holding onto her car as she was driving out of a parking lot in Kearny Mesa.

The two were involved in an argument about 11:30 p.m. Thursday in a parking lot in the 4600 block of Convoy Street when she started to drive away while he was still holding onto the car, said Officer Robert Heims of the San Diego Police Department.

The woman drove out of the parking lot and turned southbound onto Convoy Street, where the man let go and was allegedly run over by her car, Heims said.

Paramedics rushed the 25-year-old man to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries. The suspected driver, Latisha Ingram, was arrested a short time later on suspicion of felony drunken driving.

San Diego police asked anyone with any information regarding the death to call San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
