SYRACUSE -- A 21-year-old Syracuse woman is charged in a hit-and-run that left a 12-year-old girl dead.

Police say Jaqueisha Elmore is charged with second-degree manslaughter, reckless driving, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident. She was arraigned Sunday morning in Syracuse City Court.

Police say Elmore was driving a van that hit and killed Taizhae Bennette Saturday evening after a fight near a basketball tournament that was taking place.

Investigators say Elmore hit the child hard and dragged her along the road. She was taken to an area hospital, where she later died.

Police got a description of the vehicle and were waiting at Elmore's home when she returned.
