Houston's community is rattled by the dark events that unfolded yesterday night when a hit-and-run on Parker Road left a man dead, as first reported FOX 26 Houston. Authorities were summoned to the scene around 11 p.m. after a woman, initially mistaking the victim for debris, made the grisly realization that the obstruction in the road was a man's body and called the police.
Responding to the urgent call, the Houston Fire Department rushed to the 300 block of Parker Road where they declared the man deceased. Having no witnesses to enlighten the sequence of events, and as no vehicles have yet been linked to the tragedy, police are desperate to piece together this puzzle, as they comb the area for surveillance video that might have captured the incident, as described by KIAH. The identity of the hapless pedestrian who was reportedly trying to cross the street at the time of the calamitous event remains unknown.
Houston police are appealing to the public for any leads that might shed light on this sorrowful occurrence. The authorities urge anyone with information about the crash that led to a life cut short to come forward, promising anonymity through Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS or to directly reach out to HPD's Hit and Run Division at (713) 247-4072.
