Police say they have found the driver in a hit-and-run on Shallowford Road that left a woman dead earlier this month.
Officers responded around 2:30 a.m. on June 8 and found a 36-year-old woman with life-threatening injuries in the 7200 block of Shallowford.

She was taken to a hospital, where she died from her injuries, according to police.
It appears the driver of a Ford F-150 truck was driving west on Shallowford and hit the woman while she was trying to cross the street, and the driver left the scene before officers arrived, police said.
Police asked for help Saturday to identify the driver of the truck, which is bronze or gold and has custom lighting.
By Monday evening, police had located the driver, according to a news release.
The investigation is ongoing, police said. It is unclear whether the driver will face charges.
Last year saw a record number of pedestrians hit and killed by drivers in Chattanooga.
On Monday night, a cyclist was hit by two Ford F-150s in Ooltewah, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
