DENVER — Officers are looking for a Toyota Tacoma truck in connection to a deadly hit-and-run that left a pedestrian dead Sunday night, Denver Police Department (DPD) said.
Police said a 2005 to 2011 Toyota Tacoma truck hit the victim in the road around 8:40 p.m. while heading south in the 300 block of South Broadway Street. That's just south of Alameda Avenue.
The victim was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and DPD said Monday that person had died. The suspect driver continued without stopping to render aid or contact police.
DPD released a stock photo of a vehicle that resembles the suspect's vehicle which is below. The vehicle should have damage to the passenger front bumper area, according to DPD.
