Fort Worth police are asking for the public’s help finding a hit-and-run driver who killed a pregnant woman in September.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of 27-year-old Victor Manuel Medina-Ramirez.

Police said Medina-Ramirez was driving a vehicle that hit another vehicle in the early morning of Sept. 24 at Airport Freeway and North Sylvania Avenue. He walked or ran from the scene before officers arrived.

The crash killed a passenger in the other vehicle, 30-year-old Meagan Roiter, and her unborn child. Two others in the same vehicle were taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

Investigators believe Medina-Ramirez is avoiding apprehension.
