A pedestrian was killed after being struck by a car in a hit-and-run crash in Northwest Miami-Dade.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded at around 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday to reports of a pedestrian being struck in the area of Northwest Seventh Avenue and 95th Street.
Detectives said they found an unresponsive adult male upon arriving at the scene. The man was taken by paramedics to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The victim was later identified as 67-year-old Samuel Singletary Jr.
Authorities shut down traffic on Northwest Seventh Avenue in both directions while they investigated.
A witness who spoke with 7News off-camera said he saw an older model, dark-colored sedan hit a man who was riding the damaged bicycle and kept driving. Someone attempted to follow after the vehicle to get the tag but was unsuccessful.
Police confirmed they are searching for a dark-grey sedan in connection to the accident. This is an ongoing investigation.
