Gwinnett County police looking for white pickup truck connected to fatal hit-and-run (Gwinnett Police Department)

Authorities in Gwinnett County are asking for the public’s help in tracking down the driver of a vehicle they believe was involved in a deadly hit-and-run two months ago.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that it was around 9:30 p.m. on March 3 when officers got calls about a man slumped over near a construction area at 6700 Dawson Boulevard. Witnesses said he was bleeding from his head, according to an incident report. “One of the callers told dispatchers they didn’t think the man was breathing,” The AJC’s Rosana Hughes adds.

When authorities arrived, they found the victim in the middle of the road with what appeared to be tire marks on his face, the report states. Hughes writes that emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene, “and officers used their patrol cars to block the view of his body from passing motorists.”

Police later identified the victim as 31-year-old Razak Ndego Iddrisa.

Investigators suspect a person driving a white Dodge Ram pickup truck hit Iddrisa. Surveillance footage from a nearby business captured the truck entering the property around the time of the incident. The AJC reports that police said parts of the truck were also found at the scene.

“Witnesses are encouraged to call or email GCPD Investigators with any helpful information at pdaccidentinvestigationunit@gwinnettcounty.com or 678-442-5653,” the Gwinnett Police Department said in a release on Monday. “To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Atlanta Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.stopcrimeATL.com.”

Crime Stoppers tipsters can receive a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.
