PHOENIX – Phoenix Police are asking the public to help identify a suspect’s vehicle in a fatal hit-and-run accident on Friday.

The collision occurred near 71st Avenue and Thomas Road just before 10 a.m. when a man with his Chevrolet Tahoe hit a sedan and pickup truck and did not stop, police said.

The vehicle is an older Chevrolet Tahoe, tan or gold in color, with front damage, while police describe the suspect as a Hispanic man between 25 and 35 years old with short dark hair.
