A man walking just north of Allapattah Saturday afternoon was killed by a hit-and-run driver, Miami police say, and they’ve released pictures of the car they say was involved.

Police think the car is a Honda Accord, model year from 2023-2026, blue in color. The photos of the car from outside the front of the driver’s side show the car to be royal blue while the photos from the rear of the driver’s side show a blue that’s lighter than navy blue.

The difference might be how the sun was hitting the car at about 12:25 p.m. Saturday. That’s when the driver of the car, police say, fatally struck a 61-year-old man at the intersection of Northwest 17th Avenue and 43rd Street hard enough that the car should have front end damage.
