The suspect in a hit-and run that killed a Eudora 10-year-old has been transferred to the Douglas County Jail from Indiana, where he was arrested, and on Monday he appeared in Douglas County District Court to face three felony charges: second-degree murder, aggravated battery and leaving the scene of an accident.

Jose Alfredo Galiano Meza, 28, of Overland Park, arrived at the jail Sunday night, said George Diepenbrock, a spokesman with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Diepenbrock also noted that Meza’s name had previously been misspelled as Mesa on various documentation.

Meza was booked around 11:30 p.m. with an ICE hold, according to the jail booking log. ICE refers to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

On Monday, he made his first appearance in court via video from the jail. Judge Blake Glover set his bond at $500,000.

As previously reported by the Journal-World, the sheriff’s office was notified on June 4 that Meza was taken into custody in Martinsville, Indiana, by U.S. Marshals and Indiana state troopers.

The sheriff’s office had a warrant for Meza’s arrest as the suspected driver of a van that struck a motorcycle about 5:19 p.m. on May 14 at East 1900 Road and Kansas Highway 10. Brooklyn Brouhard, 10, of Eudora, later died from injuries suffered in the crash. She was a passenger on the motorcycle driven by her grandfather Barry Larson, 54, of Eudora, who was also injured.

Deputies early in the investigation were able to identify Meza as the driver of the van that struck the motorcycle and left the scene, the sheriff’s office said. Meza had been in Lawrence earlier in the day on May 14 for a painting job and was driving back to the Kansas City area.

Though the sheriff’s office released a photo of Meza earlier this month, on Monday it declined to release his booking photo.
