According to the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, Kevin Clay Fletcher was riding his bike home from PF Chang’s at the Mall at Partridge Creek, where he worked, on Saturday, November 5, 2016.

Just after 1:20 a.m., Fletcher was crossing Romeo Plank Road, at Hall Road, when he was hit by a what was believed to be a 2005-2007 tan colored Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The driver of the Jeep did not stop at the scene, continuing northbound on Romeo Plank after hitting the bicyclist.
