Ms. A is suspected of hitting and killing the elderly man while he was walking down the entrance to the underground parking lot at around 3:57 p.m. on the 15th.

At the time, Ms. A left the scene without taking any action, and for 15 minutes, five other vehicles ran over Mr. B, who was lying on the ground.

The last driver involved felt as if they had run over something and went to check, at which point Mr. B was discovered. Mr. B was transported to a nearby hospital but ultimately passed away.
