The vehicle is suspected of being involved in a June 11 hit-and-run in central Tucson, near the intersections of South Craycroft Road and East 22nd Street.

According to police accounts, the Elantra was heading south on Craycroft when it collided with a white Camaro also headed south being driven by 25-year-old Michael Perkins. Perkins was taken to a nearby hospital but died from injuries related to the crash.

Michael Perkins, 25, was driving this white Camaro south on Craycroft Road when he collided with another vehicle in June. Perkins was killed. The other driver left the scene.
