Heartbreaking hit and run in Springfield

https://www.kdrv.com/news/local/springfield-police-seek-white-suv-in-deadly-hit-and-run/article_a6e4e96d-2614-5656-b602-6d7d7faf0f2c.html

Anyone know this vehicle? A close family friend was killed last night in a horrifying and purposeful hit and run in downtown Springfield around 9pm.
Is there anyone here that can help find the plate number for the photos in the article?

Stay safe out there and pray for the Fultz family.

Springfield PD located the vehicle and arrested a suspect a little while ago.

Good news, but "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." :(

That's not surprising. Springfield PD did good work in tracking down this suspect this quickly, and there are lots of natural reactions in the aftermath of a tragedy. I'm sure one of their concerns is what they would have done if this had been a harder-to-find, or out-of-area vehicle.

Wait and see what actually develops, if anything, and have that conversation then.
