Killeen, TX (August 2, 2026): Investigators with the Killeen Police Department Traffic Unit are investigating a fatal hit-and-run auto-pedestrian crash that occurred early Sunday morning in the 2200 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (FM 2410).

On Sunday, August 2, 2026, at approximately 5:28 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 2200 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in reference to a vehicle versus pedestrian collision. Upon arrival, officers located a male pedestrian lying in the roadway.

The preliminary investigation indicates that the pedestrian was walking in the inside lane of FM 2410 when he was struck by an unknown vehicle traveling northbound.
