PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — Police are still searching for a suspect and their car after a deadly hit-and-run in Prince George's County on November 14.

Around 7 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of Walker Mill Road and Rochelle Avenue to investigate a crash. 

Security footage revealed a car struck and killed a woman attempting to cross the road without ever slowing down. The woman was said to have been wearing reflective gear.

Investigators say hit-and-run collisions are notoriously difficult to solve.

Detectives can identify and charge drivers in less than 20% of fatal hit-and-run incidents, according to Capt. Ralph Parker, the Assistant Commander of the Prince George's County Police Special Operations Division.

"Witnesses are the most important piece," Parker said. "That information goes miles in solving these."

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit at 301-731-4422.
