Drew Karedes reports a 4-year-old died at Congress and Sleeper streets after being hit by the driver of a Ford F150.
Police responded to the scene around 5:10 p.m. and, not long after, called in the BPD homicide and fatal-accident-reconstruction units.
Karedes says the driver remained on scene. He posted a photo showing police evidence markers by the pickup's rear wheels.
Officers from three nearby police districts were also called in to help transport witnesses for interviews by homicide detectives at BPD headquarters.
Congress Street was shut between Downtown and A Street for the investigation.
