Gresham, Ore.—On Monday, July 18, at around 8:00pm, Gresham Police responded to a report of a hit-and-run crash that left a pedestrian with serious injuries. Responding officers located the victim, 62-year-old Rennette Harris of Portland, lying in the street, and she was taken to a trauma hospital for treatment. 

Detectives and crime scene investigators were called to the scene and after interviewing witnesses and viewing area surveillance video, they identified a suspect vehicle which was located unoccupied a short distance away that night.
