Chicago Police On the Trail of 8 Year Old Bicyclist's Killer

Lakeith Morgan

Eight year old Mariela Crisostomo was struck so hard by an SUV while she rode her bicycle back on June 14th that horrified witnesses saw her propelled underneath a parked car near her Chicago Lawn home.  The driver sped away, not stopping to give aid or assistance.  Mariela died of her injuries about 12 hours later.  Now, Chicago police remain on the driver's trail and are looking for Lakeith Morgan, 23, in connection with the incident, according to The Chicago Tribune.

The Tribune reports, "Morgan is black and stands about 5-foot-9 and weighs 160 pounds.  His last known address is in the 3000 block of West 64th Street, just blocks from the site of the collision."  Anyone with information about Mr. Morgan's whereabouts should call Police Major Accident Investigation at 312.745.4521.
