"Who can kill somebody's baby and leave [her] laying in the street? And not even stop, is beyond me. All they care about is themselves," said Jim, Annika's father.

The vehicle that struck Annika was described only as a dark-colored SUV that had been going south on Church Street when it hit her. Police continue to search for the vehicle and the suspect driver.

Residents say the street where Annika was struck is considered dangerous.
