Nicki Minaj's mother wants justice for the death of her late estranged husband. Carol Maraj has filed a $150 million wrongful death suit against Charles Polevich, 70, the man accused of killing Robert Maraji in a hit-and-run crash last month, reports Newsday.
70-year-old Charles Polevich turned himself in and has been charged and arraigned on two felonies, leaving the scene of an incident involving the death of a person and tampering with or suppressing physical evidence, reports TMZ. The elderly man is accused of hitting Maraj with his 1992 Volvo and was apparently well aware that he struck the man with his car. Police sources say that following the collision, Polevich “exited his vehicle stood over the victim asked him if ‘he was ok,'” walked and returned to his vehicle and fled the scene.”
A rep for the rapper confirmed to TMZ that Nicki's father, Robert Maraj, died this weekend but did not provide further comment. New York's Nassau County Police Department told the publication that Robert Maraj was struck in a hit-and-run accident while walking on the road between Roslyn Road and Raff Avenue Friday evening around 6 PM ET in Mineola, Long Island.
