A woman believed to be in her 30s was killed in a hit-and-run early morning in Brownsville, police said.
The woman was found motionless in the street on Pitkin Avenue and Osborn Street, after being dragged for two blocks. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
News 12 obtained a series of surveillance videos that help piece together what happened in the minutes before the crash.
Around 6:30 a.m., video shows the woman entering a bodega at Pitkin Avenue and Osborn Street. A witness said she asked for money to buy food.
About 10 minutes later, surveillance footage from a camera two blocks away shows her going into a residential building on Pitkin Avenue near Mother Gaston Boulevard. Neighbors said the woman was unhoused and would often go inside to warm up.
A short time later, video shows her leaving the building and walking back toward Mother Gaston Boulevard.
At the intersection, she waits as cars pass, then steps into the street to cross Pitkin Avenue.
At the same moment, a black SUV speeds around a white van and hits her.
Video shows the woman somehow became trapped under a black sedan that was following the SUV. She was dragged for two blocks.
Surveillance video from Pitkin Avenue and Osborn Street shows the woman rolling out from underneath the black sedan. The car pauses briefly, then drives away, leaving her in the roadway.
Police are still working to determine who was at fault and are searching for those involved in the crash.
TMZ has reported that the victim is former Nickelodeon child star Kianna Underwood.
