Providence police say they've found car in fatal hit, run

PROVIDENCE -- The police say they have found the vehicle that they believe struck and killed a 54-year-old man early Saturday morning.

Adolfo Gonzalez, 54, was pronounced dead shortly after he was found on the 900 block of Atwells Avenue.

According to Sgt. Paul Zienowicz, at about 10 a.m. today, patrolman Thomas Connetta, of the hit and run bureau, found the car while searching the neighborhood.

The gray 2008 Dodge Avenger was found in the parking lot of a complex at 40 Leander St. The car, a rental vehicle, had hood and windshield damage consistent with the victim’s injuries.

The police are looking for the person who rented the car, and are awaiting a search warrant.
