Caterina Hill Obituary, Death: Pedestrian Killed in Hit-and-Run Accident in Murfreesboro
The Murfreesboro Police Department has identified the pedestrian who was tragically struck and killed by a vehicle over the weekend as 49-year-old Caterina Hill, a resident of Murfreesboro.
The incident occurred in the early morning hours on North Thompson Lane, near the Tangerine Salon and Spa, where Hill’s body was discovered around 6 a.m. on Sunday.
According to the police, Hill was found lying in the street next to a curb in front of the salon. The authorities believe that the accident may have occurred several hours before she was discovered.
This suggests that Hill was likely struck during the night, and her body remained unnoticed until the morning. The preliminary investigation conducted by the Murfreesboro Police revealed that Hill was walking southbound on North Thompson Lane when she was hit by a vehicle traveling in the outside lane.
Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle fled the scene, leaving Hill behind. The police have not yet identified the driver or the vehicle involved in the incident.
As the investigation continues, the Murfreesboro Police Department is working diligently to gather more information about the events leading up to Hill’s death. The fact that the driver did not stop after the accident adds a layer of complexity to the case.
Investigators are likely reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses, including the Tangerine Salon and Spa, as well as any other cameras that might have captured the vehicle or the incident itself.
They may also be appealing to the public for any information that could lead to the identification of the driver involved. Witnesses or anyone with knowledge of the incident may hold the key to solving the case and bringing justice to Hill’s family.
The case remains open, and the Murfreesboro Police Department is urging anyone who might have seen something or knows anything about the incident to come forward. Even the smallest detail could prove crucial in finding the person responsible for Hill’s death.
The suddenness and violence of the incident, coupled with the fact that the responsible party has yet to be held accountable, can make the grieving process even more difficult. The Murfreesboro community may also be feeling the impact of this tragedy.
