GOLETA, Calif. - The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office is hoping to learn more information about the man arrested in connection with a deadly hit-and-run in Goleta.

The sheriff's office said Tuesday that it was still actively investigating the deadly crash.

It happened on Sunday, February 9 along Cathedral Oaks Road.

Mary Jane Becerra Corral and her husband, Adolfo Corral, were killed. They leave behind four children, according to a GoFundMe page set up by their family.

Deputies arrested Eric Mauricio Ramirez-Aguilar from Goleta a couple of hours after the deadly crash. Investigators believe he was driving under the influence at the time.

As of Tuesday, he was still being held in jail with bail set at $1,000,000.

Investigators would like to speak with anyone who had contact with Ramirez-Aguilar on the day of the crash. They're also asking people who live in the area to check doorbell cameras, security cameras, dashboard cameras or anything else that may have captured his vehicle in the area.

Investigators say he was driving a blue 2004 Nissan 350Z convertible.
