CHICAGO (CBS)--Chicago Police have released surveillance photos from a hit-and-run that killed a bicyclist last month.

Police say the cyclist was riding on Division and Cicero on Aug. 24 when he was hit by a vehicle. The driver left the scene and the cyclist later died.

A dark-colored Jeep Patriot is seen on surveillance footage of the night a cyclist was killed in a hit and run on Division and Cicero.

Video surveillance shows the driver stopping the vehicle a few blocks away, then driving off.

The vehicle seen in the footage appears to be a dark-colored, newer-model Jeep Patriot. It has a high-intensity LED light on the back license plate, police said.
