Police are looking for a man who is suspected of intentionally running over and killing a woman early Monday on the city's West Side.
According to a preliminary police report, officers were dispatched to Culebra Road and Memorial Street around 1 a.m. for a black SUV that was being driven recklessly and that hit a pole.
When officers arrived, they found a woman dead in the street at the intersection of North San Joaquin Avenue and Rivas Street, the report said.
The woman appeared to have been run over, the report said.
A witness told officers that he had seen a man in a black SUV following a woman who was walking and it appeared that they were arguing, the report said.
The hit-and-run was first investigated as a traffic incident but after officers spoke with the witness, homicide investigators were called in and took over the investigation.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call police.
