When police arrived, they found that a Nissan Pathfinder, driven by Suleymanov, had hit a Chevrolet Impala head-on.
Michael Jumper, 54, died in the crash.
Investigators said Suleymanov had stolen the Nissan just minutes before the crash and was driving nearly 100 miles per hour.
Suleymanov lost control, ran off the road, overcorrected, and hit Jumper’s vehicle, which was going at over 70mph.
He has never had a driver’s license, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
Suleymanov is not in custody and is due next in court on April 22.
