Tracy Police Seek Woman For Fatal Hit-And-Run

TRACY (CBS13) - Authorities are looking for a woman suspected of hitting and killing a motorcyclist in Tracy, then taking off from the scene.

The incident happened back on Oct. 7. Tracy police say a gold or tan GMC hit the motorcyclist at the intersection of 11th Street and Lincoln Boulevard.

A 21-year-old Tracy resident identified as Lewis Casey was killed in the crash.

Police say the driver of the Yukon, 31-year-old Liset Palafox, drove away from the scene and didn't come back. A felony hit-and-run warrant has been issued for her arrest.

Palafox has not come forward. Her Yukon likely has major damage to the driver's side, plus the back might be missing its driver-side tail lamp. The SUV had dark-colored paper plates with light-colored lettering.

Anyone who knows where Palafox may be is asked to call the Tracy Police Department.
