There, they found a man lying in the roadway and he was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The victim was identified by the city's medical examiner's office as 53-year-old Michael Kingsley.
The driver fled the scene in his vehicle, but officers were able to locate the empty vehicle a short while later in the 100 block of Barneveld Avenue.
