Police are searching for the hit-and-run driver who struck and killed 50-year-old Robert Davis in South Shore last month, and have released images of the vehicle.
On Tuesday, August 21, at around 10:45 p.m., Davis was crossing in a crosswalk at 91st Street and Commercial Avenue when the westbound driver of a black Acura RL sedan struck him, according to authorities. The motorist fled west after the crash and was last seen driving north on Houston Avenue.
Davis, who lived in the Calumet Heights neighborhood, was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died from his injuries three days later, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
