Seattle Police recovered the van being searched for in the hit and run killing of 80-year-old Bari Hill but have not yet announced any arrests in the case.

According to Seattle Police radio updates, a van matching the vehicle description from the deadly Sunday, February 5th collision at 22nd and E Madison was found by police Thursday near Golden Gardens Park in Ballard.

KOMO reported on the recovery but SPD did not announce any updates in the case.

Hill, 80, died Sunday night of multiple blunt force injuries suffered in the collision. She was a resident of Madison Park.

Witnesses reported she was struck while crossing E Madison at 22nd Ave in the crosswalk. Police say the driver was turning left onto Madison from 22nd Ave in front of the Safeway when Hill was hit.

The area is currently busy with construction from the Madison RapidRide G project which will include a 22nd and Madison stop when it opens in 2024.

Images retrieved from security video by police show a black van with distinctive back windows as it sped from the intersection.

Police say witnesses described the van as black or dark green in color with “bars” (or louvres) on the back windows. The van may have had heavily tinted windows with a missing, modified, or aftermarket front bumper and there may be damage to the grille from the collision. According to police, people reported seeing the van in several areas around the neighborhood: in the 2100 block of East Denny Way, the 2200 block of East Madison and near Miller Playfield. If you have any information about the van, contact detectives at 206-684-8923.
