2 pedestrians killed in hit-and-run crash on Lafayette Street
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two pedestrians have died after a hit-and-run crash early Sunday morning just south of downtown Nashville. Officers were called to the 100 block of Lafayette Street at approximately 2 a.m. on Sunday, April 5 after two people were reportedly struck by a vehicle traveling at high speed. According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, a 2011 Lexus 250 sedan was heading outbound from downtown when it hit the two pedestrians: Yulonda Parham, 31, and Kanon Oldham, 27. Both victims were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where they died. Officials said the male driving the car pulled over after the crash and ran away. Investigators are still working to identify him. A woman -- identified as the registered owner of the Lexus -- then arrived at the scene "to attempt to aid in the investigation," MNPD said. No signs of drug or alcohol use were found inside the vehicle, but it was impounded for forensic analysis. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
