Here are the top 3 stories in Oklahoma City today:

1. Oklahoma City police are seeking the public's help locating a suspect in a hit-and-run crash that occurred this weekend. Officers were called late Sunday night to the scene on 10th Street where a red Toyota Tacoma pickup truck struck a pedestrian before fleeing the scene. The pedestrian died from their injuries.

2. A local nonprofit has restored the home of former Oklahoma Governor J. Howard Edmondson. Kaylene and Brian Balzer, organizers of the nonprofit Beautiful Restoration, purchased the home days before it was set to be demolished. The home is now completely restored, and its Christmas light display is attracting large crowds across Edmond. (news9.com KWTV)
3. The Del City Police Department, Fire Department, and City Hall all competed for the 'Christmas Cup' this year. The holiday decorating competition began after Mayor Floyd Eason came up with the idea last month. Since then, the battle to display the best holiday lights in Del City has taken off on social media. The police department was ultimately awarded the top prize. (news9.com KWTV)
