According to ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Newsradio, the police’s investigation revealed that an argument between two men happened before the crash. Police would not say whether one of the men was struck by the other man’s car or how many cars were involved.

“What we do know is there was an altercation prior to this. Their relationship is still under investigation and that’s an unknown at this time,” Seattle Police Department (SPD) Officer Eric Munoz said. “We have a vehicle description, but we’re not going to release it to the media. That’s part of the integrity of the investigation and, at this point, we don’t have a suspect description.”

The suspect in the Lake City hit-and-run investigation fled the scene in his car and has not been found, as of this reporting.

“We have a vehicle description, but we’re not going to release it to the media,” Munoz said. “That’s part of the integrity of the investigation. And, at this point, we don’t have a suspect description.”

The incident is being investigated as a vehicular homicide and detectives from the SPD Homicide Unit are leading the investigation.
