Traffic Unit Investigators have notified
the next of kin of the victim from last night's hit-and-run crash. The
victim was Mitchell Glenn Downs, a 23-year-old resident of Lumberton.
Investigators have also determined that
security cameras from adjacent businesses captured video of the
incident. We are looking for a dark-colored pickup truck that has new
front-end damage that resulted from striking Mr. Downs.
If you have any information about the
identity of that vehicle, or its driver, please contact the Beaumont
Police Department Traffic Unit at 980-7271. You may also contact
Beaumont Crime Stoppers at 833-TIPS with anonymous information.
