CHELSEA, June 16, 2016—Nearly two weeks after Marco Salguero-Cruz suffered fatal injuries in a hit-and-run collision, Chelsea and State police are asking the public to remain on the lookout for the vehicle that fled the scene of the crash.

Chelsea Police Chief Brian Kyes and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said Salguero-Cruz, 25 and a resident of Chelsea, was struck in the area of 284 Washington Ave. at about 10:00 on the night of June 4. The vehicle that struck him left the scene without stopping. Salguero-Cruz was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he died of his injuries the next morning.

Witness statements, physical evidence at the scene, and footage from public safety cameras in the area suggest that the vehicle was a 2007-2009 Toyota Camry, silver or light gray in color with a moon roof and fog lights. The vehicle is believed to have front end damage from the collision, including a broken left headlight: it can be seen in a video clip posted at https://youtu.be/fraesVBEWuE.
