The Elk Grove Police Department said officers responded to the area of West Stockton Boulevard and Whitelock Parkway after 911 calls reporting the hit-and-run around 5:15 a.m.
An investigation led the department to Michael Deon Brown, 54, as the suspect in the incident.

After further investigation, officers found Brown’s vehicle parked at a house in North Sacramento with a cover over the damaged area, police said.
Officers arrested Brown, who displayed “objective signs of impairment,” according to the department.
Police said Brown is being booked and arraigned at Sacramento County Main Jail on suspicion of charges including hit and run resulting in death, driving under the influence of a drug and violation of parole. His arraignment is set for 3 p.m. Tuesday.
