INDIANAPOLIS — Police said Sunday they have located the blue metallic Chevy Cruze suspect vehicle in Friday's hit-and-run that left a woman dead after she was struck on the city's southeast side.
Police responded to a report of a pedestrian struck in the 7100 block of East Troy Avenue, near Interstate 465 and Five Points Road, shortly before 8:30 a.m.
Police arrived and found a woman who was unresponsive. Medics pronounced her dead at the scene.
The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the deceased as 59-year-old Carol D. Miller.
Investigators were looking for a 2013-2014 Chevy Cruze that was connected to the crash, and reported Sunday morning that Southeast District officers and community tips led police to the car. Police said the blue-gray car was traveling on Southeastern Avenue before the crash and fled east on Troy Avenue after striking Miller.
Nobody has been arrested in the case.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the IMPD Crash Investigations Office at 317-327-6549 or 317-262-8477.

Police believe the man was struck by a car on Troy Avenue at Bradenburg Drive. They don't have a description of the vehicle but believe it was red in color.
