Officials believe Alexander was hit by one car Saturday morning on Cleveland Avenue, then hit again by a second car and dragged down the street. Both cars had left the scene by the time authorities arrived.

The first car, a Ford Fusion, has been located and the driver identified, according to Watson, who did not release the name of the driver.

According to Channel 2 Action News, she turned herself in.

Authorities are still looking for the driver of the second car, which is believed to be a Buick Regal.
