TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Tucson Police are now investigating a hit-and-run that happened near the end of March as a homicide.
One of the victims died on April 2.

Officers responded to North Columbus Boulevard.
Officers located two victims, a man and a woman, in a parking lot. Both were taken to Banner UMC to be treated for their serious injuries. The driver had already left the scene by the time officers got there.
