Matthew Pender, 27, was hit by a passing vehicle in the 1500 block of North Wesleyan Boulevard in Rocky Mount on April 11.
Video from security cameras in the area showed a Smart car traveling in the area the night of the crash, and headlight fragments recovered at the scene came from a white or silver 2007-2016 Smart Fortwo, police said.
An investigation led officers to Former's residence, where they found a Smart Fortwo behind the home, police said.
