A 42-year-old St. Paul woman was identified Sunday as the victim of a weekend hit-and-run fatality in south Minneapolis.
Stacy Ann Morrison died of blunt-force injuries, according to a news release issued late Sunday from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
Morrison was struck and found unconscious about 1:30 a.m. Saturday in the area of Bloomington Avenue and E. Lake Street and died there, despite efforts by paramedics to resuscitate her.
Police believe that a vehicle, possibly a dark-colored sedan, struck the woman while southbound on Bloomington near Lake. The vehicle then fled the scene, continuing south on Bloomington.
Detectives are investigating the incident, the 16th vehicle-related death in the city this year. There were 12 over the same period in 2020.
