TUESDAY UPDATE: Traffic homicide detectives think the car involved could be a 2005-2009 black or dark charcoal gray Pontiac G6. There's no certainty on whether the car was a two-door or a four-door. The car likely has front grille damage.

A Miami woman five days from her 77th birthday was killed by a hit-and-run driver Sunday night, according to Miami police.

Hilda Garcia, 76, was crossing Northwest 37th Avenue at Ninth Street around 10:15 p.m. when a car struck her and kept going. Garcia was only a couple of blocks from home.

Anyone who knows anything about this incident or the car involved can call Miami police at 305-603-6525; Miami Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477); text Crime Stoppers at 274637 with "CSMD" and the tip; or go to the Crime Stoppers website.
