From WGTD News:
Racine Police appear to be making progress as they search for the driver of a hit and run vehicle. 69-year-old Anthony Morales died of injuries sustained in the incident which occurred in the 1800 blk. of Erie St. three days before Christmas. Police said Morales had gone into the street to start his vehicle when he was struck by what investigators believe was a late model Subaru Ascent, based on left-behind wreckage. Without elaborating, police said in a statement Tuesday that the vehicle they were looking for has been found and towed for evidence.

Racine Police are still looking for a gunman who shot and killed the owner of an Uptown tavern and another man during a New Year's Eve party. Rerun's Lounge owner Avery Stewart and another man, 56-year-old Billy Petty of Racine, were named by police Tuesday as the victims, although family members had earlier provided identifications to reporters. The shooting occurred just a couple of hours into the new year. Witnesses said the shooting was preceded by an argument. The suspect then left the bar and returned with a gun and started firing.
