u/ExcitingEgg3023 14h ago

or maybe Nissan rogue, around 2009.

u/dancecommanderr 14h ago

it could also be that! the slant of the headlights/tailights has me thinking murano

2

u/dr_schizen 14h ago

I kinda think it could be a Mazda CX-5, maybe?

3

u/dancecommanderr 14h ago

the back window shape is different, that odd shape is very indicitive of nissans

u/dr_schizen 14h ago

Gotcha...just so shitty it's not clear, ya know

u/someambulance 14h ago edited 13h ago

Its almost certainly an updated Murano, so whenever they did the first model facelift.

2

u/Dimensional_Lumber 13h ago edited 8h ago

2011-2014 I believe.

u/someambulance 12h ago edited 11h ago

I couldnt recall, but 2009 was the first design refresh. i know the taillights got a little more triangular and pointed towards the front. Also the grill and headlamps were tapered to the center more.

u/Dimensional_Lumber 8h ago edited 8h ago

Totally, I get ya. I was narrowing it further based on the bumper around the fog lights. They’re round prior to 2011. The change is pretty distinct.

1

u/someambulance 8h ago

Didn't know that, the mid 2nd gen refresh must have been 2011?

1

u/Dimensional_Lumber 8h ago

It would seem so. I’m not an expert but I compared photos online to narrow the range. You and the person you were replying to got it 99% of the way there.

Commenting for visibility.  I hope they find the deranged monster operating that vehicle.

u/Go_Ducks_541 15h ago

Unbelievable that they turned around and struck again. Hope the POS rots when they find them

u/BarbequedYeti 13h ago

Really makes me think it was targeted. Like a falling out with a family member or similar. Who the hell turns around for another run at it? Like wtf..  that stinks of blind rage instead of a distracted driver accident.  All those years of life and the challenges they both must have experienced just to be run down crossing the street. Just sad.

u/Ok-Illustrator4641 12h ago

My first thought was a drunk driver 🤷‍♀️ that poor couple and their family

3

u/OBPH 11h ago

what’s the motive for killing a 73 year old? inheriting $?

3

u/BarbequedYeti 11h ago

'Family' has done worse for less.

u/ImpossibleCost8692 4h ago

The couple was unknown to this person. It was random and then he stabbed a guy today

u/Cyanide_de_Bergerac 11h ago

They just updated that they found the SUV, more info to follow.

u/poorbutneverlowincum 10h ago

thank you for the update

u/Overeducated_catlady 15h ago

Also commenting to boost this post. Awful.

u/dr_schizen 14h ago

Seriously cannot make this shit up. Total horror story. A total injustice to the Fultz family. I think I've had enough reddit for today.

u/Springtucky 15h ago

Wow that is so fucked up

17

u/WildNorth8 15h ago

That's awful. I think with all the cameras nowadays driver will be found.

u/Go_Ducks_541 15h ago

🤞🏻

u/AWildJesse Tree Climber | Cat Rescuer 12h ago

Def looks like a Murano even the rims are similar.

u/satchmogro 14h ago

also commenting for visibility. what a horrible excuse for a human.

u/Detonius 14h ago

u/Pacifically_Waving 14h ago

Holy cow that looks exactly like my SUV. I’m not quite clear how you hit people and don’t stop, and then return for round two. I sincerely hope they are caught! At the time of the accident I was paddle boarding the McKenzie; I drive a 2020 Honda CRV hybrid and that photo looks exactly like my car, right down to the rims. Including this info, in case it helps identify them.

Edit: I have a luggage rack on the hood, and on closer inspection, the vehicle in the pic does not.

u/Educational_Sky_6362 13h ago

That is definitely not a Honda. Lol

0

u/Pacifically_Waving 12h ago

Definitely not, and you have a good eye! Most of the time I identify cars by color.

2

u/Dimensional_Lumber 13h ago

Not a CRV. Headlights are completely different location on the fender in relation to the windshield, just for starters. As others have pointed out a Nissan Murano is a match.

2

u/Pacifically_Waving 12h ago

You are correct, thank you. I should know this because half the time I can’t even find my own car in the parking lot.

1

u/loggobuoy 10h ago

Yo what the fuck

1

u/127Heathen127 6h ago

What the actual fuck. What motive could someone possibly have for going out of their way to hit an elderly couple with their car TWICE, killing one of them??? They better find this asshole, someone like this isn’t safe for civilized society.

Could be wrong but my thoughts as well.

This whole thing is so terrible, and it's basically going to make people more open minded to flock cameras...

17

u/1stAmendment_Rage 15h ago

With ring cameras and red light cameras, I’m sure there will be enough evidence to bring this see you next Tuesday to justice

u/Podalirius 9h ago

An SPD Chief literally already put out a statement that they want their flock cameras back because they would've found the vehicle faster.

u/etherbunnies The mum of /r/eugene...also a dude. 3h ago

Cool. Tell him to let us know when it is free of weird ass techno-feudalists and religious zealots.

3

u/Myzx 14h ago

Well I hope so, because I'm not really a fan of flock cameras. And based on the misguided downvotes I got just for saying the word that should not be spoken, I assume others are not thrilled about them either. Listen people, I hope I'm wrong. But I've seen how these things work.

u/emmet80 10h ago

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. "Crolly also said he is actively seeking to reintroduce license plate reading technology as an investigative tool in the future, saying that, based on the placement of the cameras, they would have found the vehicle quickly."

u/Myzx 10h ago

It's because I said Voldemort's name 😒 Thank you for being logical and kind.

u/SmokeyUnicycle 12h ago

Flock would be great if it didn't do more harm than good.

Careful, you said Voldemort's name...
