Woman killed in hit-and-run crash, suspect still on the run

Authorities continue to search for the suspect in a fatal hit and run in the Hunter's Creek neighborhood of Orange County. The incident happened last month on John Young Parkway.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A family is desperately searching for answers five weeks after a 78-year-old woman and her puppy were killed by a hit-and-run driver in Orange County. The deadly crash was caught on surveillance video in Hunter's Creek.

Police say the victim, Gayle Kelley, was crossing John Young Parkway when she and her dog were hit by a dark-colored SUV. Florida Highway Patrol says they've only received one tip in the case. That tip did not turn anything up.

Kelley's daughter is pleading for someone to come forward.
