“I honestly have no opinion as to the reasons why somebody has fled the scene, but this is somebody’s sister, this is somebody’s mom, it’s somebody’s daughter who has been left on the side of the road with fatal injuries,” said Staff Sgt. Colin Foster of the CPS traffic section.

“We will do everything in our ability to find this driver now and deal with him accordingly.”

Investigators are looking to speak with a person of interest in connection with the hit-and-run and are circulating a security camera still of a man entering a convenience store. Police have not indicated if the man is considered a suspect or a potential witness.
