Dallas police are seeking the public’s help identifying the suspect in a Friday night hit-and-run in east Oak Cliff.
At around 7:40 p.m., officers responded to a hit-and-run at the intersection of Kiest Boulevard, and Marsalis Avenue, from which the suspect fled on foot, according to a police release. The suspect left behind a 2012 Ford F150 FX, which had paper Texas plates reading 5192J47, according to a photo released by police.

Police did not identify the victims, who were transported to a hospital in critical condition that night. A GoFundMe set up by Samantha Lopez identifies her brother Alan Tienda and his wife Sandra Sanchez as victims. They are still in critical condition and in need of multiple surgeries, according to the fundraiser’s description, and Sanchez is in the intensive care unit. The couple share two sons, ages 8 and 2.
It was not immediately clear whether the victims were in their own vehicle, though at least one picture provided by police of the scene appears to show the suspect’s pickup pushed up against a separate vehicle.
Crime Stoppers, to which folks can submit tips at 214-373-TIPS (8477) or online at P3tips.com, is offering a reward for any information that leads to an arrest or indictment.
