After numerous community tips, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) announced Monday it arrested a 43-year-old motorcyclist allegedly responsible for the death of a 57-year-old woman killed in a South Seattle hit-and-run.

Min Huang and her husband were crossing the street at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Way South and South Alaska Street on the evening of April 18 when they were struck by a motorcycle. Police said the motorcyclist fled the scene, continuing south without stopping.

Seattle police released photos taken by a Metro bus, seen here, that show the Honda Goldwing GL1500 accused of hitting the couple.

Police said they want to thank the community whose help led to the arrest. Many people contacted SPD with information that helped the Traffic Collision Investigation Squad find the motorcycle.
