The San Marcos Police Department released video of a red pick-up truck involved in a fatal hit-and-run incident over the weekend.

Police say it’s a 90s model truck based on the wire antenna, which is now missing. It also likely has minor damage to the front right side. SMPD says it’s a smaller truck, possibly a Chevy S-10, Isuzu, Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma.

Police responded to a report of a man found laying on the edge of the road at the 200 block of S. Guadalupe Street on Saturday at approximately 1:27 a.m. 

Officers found Eligio Vasquez, 59 of San Antonio, who was not breathing, the San Marcos Police Department said. Police say officers began CPR on Vasquez which was continued by San Marcos fire and Hays County medical personnel.
