KILLEEN (November 9, 2009)—Police Monday identified the Killeen woman who was run down after an argument Saturday evening as Johnnie Ward, 63.
Miguel A. Palacios-Lopez was arrested after the deadly hit-and-run and was charged with driving while intoxicated.
He was released after posting a $2,000 bond, police said Monday.
Further charges are possible, police said.
Ward died Saturday when she was run down by a van at about 6 p.m. Saturday in the 1800 block of N. 8th St.
Witnesses said she was run down after walking away from a van driven by a man with whom she had been arguing.
They said the driver then put the van in reverse and ran Ward over.
She was airlifted to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center where she was pronounced dead just before 9 p.m. Saturday.
An autopsy was ordered.
Officers later found a van matching the description of the vehicle involved in the deadly hit-and-run in the area of Henderson and Adams and took Palacios-Lopez into custody.

None of you really do your research on any topic. Most must not be anything more then GED rejects. To the family, my sincerest apologies go out to you. To the rest of you, the Soldier wasn't charged with murder, vehicular manslaughter, or any other violent offender charge. The news simply said he was picked up for a DUI hence the $2000 dollar bond. He wasn't picked up by the MP's, it's a civil matter and the MP's only get involved when it comes down to Military charges. I've picked up Soldiers for DUIs in the past and know enough that they release the Soldier to either Senior NCO's or Officer's depending on the severity. But then as many of you imply he paid his bond, which means he was released to a bondsman and not his unit or anyone in the Military. If anything has happened, his Senior leaders have probably placed him under NCO Leadership Watch due to either suicidal thoughts or fear of fleeing if he did it. Remember we believe in innocence before guilt in this country.
Wanted all to know he is active military he was not released, he paid bond in killeen but the MP's were waiting when he got out! Maybe there is some justice left out there. Signed family of the deceased.
$2000 bond= Notice to Disappear!
