UPDATE 12/24/16, 11:02 A.M.

Law enforcement sources tell NY1 that police have dropped charges against Kevin Ozoria, 27. The decision was made because there was no evidence that Ozoria was actually behind the wheel during the crash.


Friends, family and fans said their final goodbyes to a beloved DJ Friday as a man was charged in connection with his death.

Mourners gathered at the RG Ortiz Funeral Home in Washington Heights to remember 39-year-old Jean Paul Guerrero. 

The 39-year-old was hit and killed by a car in Brooklyn early Monday morning.

He was known as DJ Jinx Paul and worked at La Mega 97.9 FM. 

Fans NY1 spoke with said they're devastated, but glad a suspect has been captured.

"It's a shame that it took him this long to turn himself in," said one fan. "We're all mourning the loss of a great guy. He's humble. He was great. He was caring. He was loving. Aalways made you feel welcome."

"It's justice for the family now that he can rest in peace. And I feel sorry more for the family and for his son," said another.

Kevin Ozoria, 27, was arrested in Guerrero's death.

Investigators say he turned himself in to police Friday.

Police believe he was behind the wheel of a black four-door sedan that hit Guerrero on Jamaica and Sheffield avenues in East New York.

He is now charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and tampering with physical evidence. 

Guerrero's body will be flown to his home country of Ecuador for burial.
