NOLANVILLE, Texas — A Harker Heights man died early Monday morning after he was hit by a driver who didn't stop, according to Nolanville police.

Police said 36-year-old Dale "DJ" Tatro was walking home from a friend's house around 2:45 a.m. on July 13, when he was hit on E. Veteran's Memorial Blvd., west of the Nola Ruth intersection.

Officers found Tatro lying in the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene, NPD said.

The driver appeared to continue westbound on Veteran's Memorial Blvd. after the incident, police said.

Officials believe the vehicle that hit Tatro was either a pickup or sedan style mid-1990s model Chevrolet or GMC.
