News Release

UPDATE: Arrest Made In Deadly 2023 Hit-And-Run (Photo) - 01/06/26

UPDATE: An additional photo is available for media use, showing the car that was recovered.

 

--

Thanks to continued work on the case, an arrest has been made in a deadly hit-and-run crash that killed a Tigard woman more than two years ago.

 

Maria Negrete, 45, was hit by a car on SW Hall Boulevard just north of Pfaffle Street on the evening of September 18, 2023. She was rushed to the hospital and died two days later. The driver who hit her never stopped.

 

In the weeks and months that followed, investigators continued to follow up on leads, but key pieces of information remained missing.

 

Roughly a year later, in October 2024, a substantial tip came in that led investigators to the car that was involved. The car was missing its windshield and had damage consistent with the crash. A search warrant was served, and investigators impounded the car to look for and process additional evidence.

 

While tests were being done, a second substantial tip was received in April 2025 that corroborated evidence about who was driving the car at the time of the deadly crash. Investigators continued to conduct interviews and gather information, and trace evidence was sent to the Oregon State Crime lab. In December 2025, investigators were notified that the examination of trace evidence confirmed a link between Ms. Negrete and the car that hit her.

 

On December 30, 2025, a Washington County Grand Jury heard the evidence in the case. They indicted Ashley Wolff, age 37 of Tigard, as the driver who hit and killed Ms. Negrete. Ms. Wolff was arrested on December 31, 2025, on one count of failing to perform the duties of a driver to an injured person.

 

“I am thankful for the people who came forward with critical information in this case,” said Detective Kaci Mace, who led the investigation. “Without their help and the determination of our partners at the crime lab and the District Attorney’s office, we may not have been able to provide answers for Ms. Negrete’s family.”

 

The original news releases from 2023 are available here and here.

 

(Media partners: Detective Mace is available for interviews at 2:45pm today. Please contact the PIO to RSVP.)
