Authorities are hoping the public can help them solve a hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of a Brownsville teenager two years ago.

Brownsville police said 18-year-old Eric Villarreal was killed on Tandy Road around 2 a.m. on Halloween 2010.

Despite having a description of a vehicle and surveillance video from a nearby hotel, police have not been able to make an arrest.

Investigators said Villarreal was walking home from a party.

His body was discovered by a passerby some two hours later...

Surveillance video caught  images of what police say is the suspect vehicle - a black or dark colored, older model pick-up.

Police said they've exhausted all their leads and are urging the public to come forth with any information by calling (956) 546-TIPS.
