There's an update on the fatal hit and run accident that happened July
5th. Wednesday we told you about police searching for a maroon or dark
colored S.U.V. Thursday they might have found what they were looking
for. Jason Calder reports.It was your typical Thursday morning along Harris Avenue...that was until police located and inspected this dark colored trail blazer.
Curtis
Milbourn, S.A.P.D. Public Information Officer, said, "We've dedicated a
lot of time and different resources to finding the suspect and a vehicle. One
of those resources was our Special Operations Unit. One of the officers or one
of the detectives assigned to that had received information and had done some
investigation that indicated this could be the vehicle involved."
Milbourn
said the Chevy S.U.V. was pulled over by patrol units around
He
said, "What our goal is to take it, process it and see if we can find
evidence that it was involved in the fatality hit and run."
Milbourn
also added that the driver of the vehicle is not a suspect in the case but they
have made a lot of progress in the past 48 hours in finding the person
responsible in the accident.
"For
a couple of days we really had very little to go on and between Officer Barnes,
the S.O.S. unit, D.P.S. helped us with some information, we have really made
some headway. So I'm feeling pretty good about where we're at right now,"
said Milbourn.
Police are investigating leads in the case and Milbourn admits the case is far from over. If you have any information, you are asked to call officer Kye Barnes at 658-4357.
