Guillermo Escobedo-Hoyo, 37, broke down at his first court appearance Friday morning, saying he didn’t want to spend another second in jail on charges that he killed 17-year-old Nick Hickey.
Escobedo-Hoyo at times cried uncontrollably, and begged the judge to let him out.
“I can’t be in jail,” he sobbed via video from the Ottawa jail.
Ontario Court of Justice Peter Griffiths said he understands it’s a “terrible place to be,” but he must wait until his lawyers apply for bail.
Hickey, 17, was fatally struck by a driver Wednesday night during what police allege was a frenzied spree through Bells Corners that only ended once officers arrested a man who was found naked after breaking into a nearby Jeep.
Escobedo-Hoyo has been charged with second-degree murder in the vehicular homicide — a rarity in Ottawa.
Hickey was on one of his walks near Seyton Drive and Hammill Court, just minutes from his home, where his family slept through the night thinking he would come back, as he usually did.
The death has devastated the boy’s family.
“He was the second half of me,” Hickey’s 11-year-old sister, Vicky Mellon, said Thursday evening in tears. She and her brother shared a love of drawing.
“Nick was run over like he was nothing,” his mother Tracy said. “He didn’t need someone to just leave him there in the cold snow to die.”
At his court appearance Friday, the accused complained about frostbite on his toes and the judge ordered he be examined by a doctor.
Escobedo-Hoyo — a paralegal at Auger Hollingsworth, according to his LinkedIn profile — is represented by lawyer Samir Adam and will remain in jail until a bail hearing, which has not yet been scheduled.
