Police said Martin allegedly hit 31-year-old Michael Lefebvre with his car on purpose due to an ongoing conflict stemming from a relationship back on July 1.
Martin then fled the scene, and a warrant was issued for his arrest two days later.
Lefebvre would later die at Rhode Island Hospital from his injuries.
Martin was on the run for a week, before he was finally arrested in Pawtucket.
Martin pled not guilty to the charge, and was ordered to be held without bail.
His next court date is on January 8, 2025.
