MURRAY, Utah — A suspect remains at large after a pedestrian was killed in a hit-and-run incident Friday while crossing a road in Murray.

Police say the victim was crossing 900 East near 6300 South at approximately 9:45 p.m. when he was struck. They initially said he was using the crosswalk but later determined that he was not.

Following the incident, the driver of a newer model Nissan Frontier (pictured above) left the scene, according to witnesses.

Police are attempting to locate the driver, saying the Nissan had a roof rack and suffered a broken headlight on the passenger side during the incident.

The victim's name has not been released, but officials said he was a man in his 70s who was in the Salt Lake area for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' General Conference.

Anyone with information on the Nissan is asked to contact the Murray City Police Department.
