CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect involved in a fatal hit-and-run of a motorcyclist.

Police released a picture of the suspect late Friday night in hopes that someone can identify the culprit.

The incident happened at 8:15 p.m. Sunday.

A car driving on Lakeshore Boulevard turned into the path of a motorcycle, causing the rider to die as a result of the crash, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said.

The driver of the car sped away, stopped at a nearby gas station and left the car before walking away on East 156th Street, Ciaccia said.

The driver is a woman with short hair.

Anyone with information on the hit-and-run is asked to call Cleveland police’s accident investigators at 216-623-5295.
