Just before 4:30 a.m. on Feb. 7, officers responded to a call about the collision.

"Early information indicated two vehicles struck the pedestrian. One vehicle remained on scene and one drove away," said Sgt. Melissa Soliz.

"A second vehicle going southbound on 7th Street ran over the pedestrian," added Soliz. "The vehicle continued to drive away."
