Victim identified in fatal hit-and-run near zoo; driver still at large
The pedestrian who was killed in a hit-and-run near the Sedgwick County Zoo early Sunday morning has been identified as the search for the driver continues into a second day, the Sheriff’s Office confirmed Monday morning.
Adam Wayne Condit, 29, of Wichita, died after being hit by a pickup in the 5800 block of West Windmill just after midnight on March 15, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office wrote in a press release.
The driver of the Dodge Ram 1500 fled the scene, prompting members of the Sheriff’s Office Major Crash Team and detectives to petition community members for tips. The Sheriff’s Office initially said the pickup was black in color, but a spokesperson with the agency confirmed Monday morning it was actually dark blue.
Information provided by members of the public later lead to the identification and discovery of the involved vehicle, the release said.
The truck’s driver, however, has not been identified, and no arrests have been made. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
