DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas Police are asking the public for help locating a driver involved in a hit-and-run accident that left two juveniles dead on April 29.
The suspect has been identified as Faustino Membreno Rivera.
Police said that at about 9:04 p.m., the suspect vehicle - a maroon 2009 GMC Sierra pickup truck with Texas plate number RHF3302 - was driving at high speeds going southbound in the wrong lane in the 13900 block of Esperanza Road.
The suspect struck a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox SUV and fled the area on foot without checking on the driver and occupants. Two juvenile victims in the SUV later died from injuries sustained in the accident. Neither their identities nor ages have been released, and the condition of the driver is currently unknown.
