DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Police in Davenport have identified a pedestrian killed in a hit-and-run just north of Genesis Medical Center as an Illinois man.

On Wednesday, police identified the victim as Eric Johnson, 60, of Rock Island, the Quad-City Times reported.

The crash happened shortly after 7 p.m. Monday, when first responders were called to North Fillmore Lane for a report of a man unresponsive in the street.

Johnson was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police have not announced any arrests or named a suspect in his death.
