Investigators said the 22-year-old victim was struck while legally crossing around 8 p.m. that night near Taco Mama and the federal courthouse. Witnesses reported that the driver of the Audi briefly slowed down, but never stopped and kept driving downhill toward Jack Warner Parkway.

TPD says the white Audi A6 would be from 2012-2018.

What's more, the driver's side mirror was damaged and fell out during the collision. However, the mirror house remained intact on the vehicle.
