Police arrested a man who they believe was part of a deadly hit-and-run crash in Littleton on Sunday.
Little Police Department officers arrested 34-year-old Georgio Willie Moore on charges of vehicular homicide following a hit-and-run that left one pedestrian dead, according to a news release from the department on Tuesday.
Officers responded to reports that Preston Dunn, 51, had been struck at the intersection Bowles Avenue and Santa Fe Drive around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. The driver left the scene.
The department followed up with a Medina alert looking for the driver of a 2016-2021 White Jeep Grand Cherokee. They then found and arrested Moore in connection to the event on Tuesday.
