The Suwanee Police Department is seeking assistance from the public in locating a vehicle connected to a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred late last month. On January 27, 60-year-old David Wayne Anglin lost his life while attempting to cross Old Peachtree Road, when he was struck by a car that fled the scene.

According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the collision happened around 7:05 p.m. near the intersection with Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, and Mr. Anglin was pronounced dead at the location of the accident. Investigators have since been able to secure footage from a security camera, showing the suspected car, described as a dark-colored sedan with matching dark rims, and have released photos to the public in hopes of gathering more information.

In a similar report by Atlanta News First, the vehicle is a central point in the ongoing investigation. Police believe that Mr. Anglin was crossing the road when the unidentified sedan hit him and did not stop. The time of the incident was approximately 7 p.m., coinciding with the time frame provided by other sources.

The authorities are urging anyone who witnessed the hit-and-run, has knowledge concerning the dark-colored sedan, or may possess dashcam footage from the area during the incident to reach out. They are directed to contact Detective Lieutenant Byun at 770-904-7650. The Suwanee Police's request for public input underscores the importance of community collaboration, in bringing resolution to the tragic loss of David Wayne Anglin and his family.
