INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says two pedestrians have died after hit-and-runs this weekend.

A man was hit and killed early Saturday morning after a hit-and-run crash on the northeast side.

Officers responded to the 7700 block of Shadeland Avenue around 5:45 a.m.

Police say the male pedestrian was struck by a vehicle. He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Family members identified the man as Jonathan Fahey.

IMPD said Saturday night they did not have any updates on a driver or suspect vehicle.

Around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to another fatal hit and run at the intersection of East 56th Street and North Moonlight Drive.

Police later found a man lying unresponsive in the 6300 block of East 56th Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Tuesday, the Marion County Coroner's Office said the victim had been identified as Andres Balderas, 43.

The vehicle involved was not at the scene when officers arrived, police said.

About three hours later, a woman was killed and six others were injured in a crash about a mile down the road.

A separate hit and run on Saturday evening left one person in critical condition.
