Victim struck by lime green Challenger in Northeast hit-and-run dies

WASHINGTON - A victim who was struck by a lime green Dodge Challenger in Northeast nearly four months ago succumbed to their injuries, police said, and died in a D.C. hospital over the weekend. 

The Metropolitan Police Department said 38-year-old Brandon Johnson was pronounced dead by officials on Saturday.

Detectives from the MPD's Major Crash Unit are still asking the community to help find the owner of the lime green Dodge Challenger involved in the deadly hit-and-run.

Surveillance video released in November shows the suspect stopping at a Shell gas station. 

Just after 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, police said the driver hit Johnson, while he was walking, on New York Avenue Northeast and West Virginia Avenue Northeast and kept going. 

When police arrived at the scene, they found the 38-year-old man unconscious and not breathing. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries. 

At the time, authorities last said the man was in the hospital fighting for his life.
