GREENVILLE, Mich. — Troopers have located a "vehicle of interest" connected to a deadly hit-and-run in Montcalm County Tuesday night.
A 14-year-old boy was killed and two others were injured in Greenville on Wise Road.
The injured teens were hospitalized after the crash. They are expected to be okay.
Michigan State Police (MSP) released a description of the suspect vehicle Thursday morning, saying they were looking for a dark-colored (blue or purple) 1999–2005 Volkswagen Jetta.
We’re told the vehicle would likely have a damaged windshield and side window.
Lieutenant Michelle Robinson said troopers located the vehicle within the state of Michigan, but declined to specify where or detail the vehicle's condition.
"It pens further processing, so as with any, it would become a piece of evidence at this point," Lt. Robinson said. "So, with any piece of evidence, it does have to be processed and so, until we can actually make a definitive, forensic proof that that is the vehicle that is involved, it, right now, is just a vehicle of interest."
She says a combination of community tips and investigative work led to Thursday's discovery.
"This still is an active, ongoing investigation, and we are trying to put in every effort to come to a resolution for this case and for the families involved, as well as the community," Lt. Robinson added. "So, we are still encouraging individuals that have information to please still come forward, bring those tips. We have been following up on every tip that we've been receiving from the community."
Those with knowledge related to the hit-and-run are urged to connect with MSP by calling 989-352-8444.
