Police now know the location of a truck sought in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision — but its driver remains at large.
Tuesday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the black 1992 GMC Sierra had been located — it just wasn’t black anymore.
Photos from a since-deleted social media post show the suspect’s truck with a fresh coat of bright yellow paint.
Investigators are still working to locate the person who was behind the wheel when the truck was involved in two separate hit-and-runs on Lake Mead Boulevard, one of which killed a pedestrian.
That collision happened at the intersection of Lake Mead and Tonopah Drive on Sunday night. Police say the pedestrian, a 34-year-old male, was walking in a marked crosswalk when the pickup driver ran a red light and hit him.
In an updated statement on the investigation, police said they believe the driver was fleeing an earlier hit-and-run crash — also on Lake Mead Boulevard — when they struck the pedestrian.
An investigation is ongoing, and police asked anyone with information that could help them find the driver to contact the Collision Investigation Section at 702-828-3595 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
