DENVER (AP) -- Denver police are asking the public for help identifying people seen in a car suspected of hitting and killing a man who was riding an electric scooter downtown last month.

Police said Tuesday that the car involved in 26-year-old Chris Patton's death was found Thursday by police.

Evidence led investigators to find surveillance images of the car at a convenience store less than 24 hours before the crash.

Patton's family suspects he may have been targeted because he was Black and wearing a Black Lives Matter mask and the car appeared to accelerate. Denver police say they haven't ruled anything out.
