The South Carolina Highway Patrol has now taken the lead in an investigation into a deadly hit and run in the Upstate. As we previously reported, a teenager was found dead in the roadway on Howard Street in Spartanburg County, Tuesday night.
The victim has been indentified as 19 year old, Jose Morales-Diaz. The Highway Patrol is looking for the public's help as they believe Morales-Diaz was hit by a driver who fled the scene.
However, they have not released any details about the suspect vehicle. Anyone with information is urged to submit an anonymous tip by calling 864-241-1000.
