Police say the car that hit the man left behind debris they used to identify what type of vehicle they’re looking for. They say they’re searching for a 2009 to 2014 Acura TSX that’s white, silver or gray and has damage to the front grill and driver’s side windshield.

"I was really just expressing the concerns me and my neighbors have. We’re all on the NextDoor app and it’s a recurring point of concern among my neighbors and I… all of the vehicle and pedestrian accidents," said Shane Mirkovich. "If nobody speaks up, nothing is going to change. I just feel like something has to change."
