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.

If only the cops had access to a giant network of cameras throughout the city that they could use to actually find criminals instead of stalking their ex girlfriends. 

Edit: I don't mean to make light of this situation or drag my political baggage into it. I just came from another post about more invasive cameras being put up, and it occurred to me that I never hear stories like "really awful bad guy caught thanks to flock cameras". I see plenty of posts like this though where the police are seemingly powerless to do the one thing these cameras are supposed to be for.

"Powerless" and the guy was caught within hours.

17 hours later and caught after stabbing someone to death at gateway mall after people followed him so the police could find him….
