PHOENIX, AZ – Phoenix police are searching for a suspect in connection with a deadly hit-and-run crash that killed a 35-year-old woman and her dog last month.
Police told ABC15 News that the crash happened in the area of Missouri Avenue and 8th Place on Saturday, Oct. 24, before 7 p.m. Police identified the 35-year-old female victim as Genieve Vega, a physical therapist.
According to a GoFundMe page, Vega, known as “G”, had just gotten groceries from Bashas’ and was walking her dog Baxter when they were struck by a vehicle.
Police believe the suspect who struck Vega and Baxter was driving a champagne-colored Toyota Sienna minivan.
The driver continued driving east on Missouri Avenue and did not render aid to Vega and her dog, who ultimately succumbed to their injuries.
