The DeKalb County Police Department is urging the public to come forward with information following a deadly hit-and-run that claimed the life of a 24-year-old woman earlier this month.

The incident occurred around 7:37 p.m. on Feb. 3, when officers responded to reports of a person struck by a vehicle on I-85 Northbound, near Chamblee Tucker Road.
