Two weeks after someone fatally hit and dragged a pedestrian before speeding off, Gwinnett County police have found the car, but are still looking for the driver.

On Jan. 6, 46-year-old Ramon Carrion was hit and dragged a quarter of a mile in a Norcross shopping center parking lot. Once the driver realized that her or she was dragging a person, the car sped away, leaving Carrion for dead. Carrion’s body was found hours later by police.
