On November 8th, at approximately 9:20 pm, the striking car was heading eastbound on Martin Luther King Junior Highway approaching Whitfield Chapel Road. A witness tells investigators the striking car moved into the right turn lane to pass vehicles stopped at a red traffic light. As that driver went around the cars, he struck the victim who was walking along the right side of the roadway, on or near the fog line. The victim died on the scene. The driver did not stop.

The striking car, described as a white sedan, may have suffered damage to the right front headlight area.
