One witness tells us she saw the aftermath and she described it as horrific.
"I actually went over there and I seen the lady on the ground. She was... tire marks were all (on her body). You could see blood all on the ground," said eyewitness Idabell Prothro. "I was like, 'Oh, Lord, Jesus.' I didn't want to see all of that."
The suspect's vehicle is described as a 2006 silver Range Rover with license plates, 447 YFJ. Authorities did say the vehicle the suspect was in was stolen from the Montrose area around October 10.

"Apparently it was a crime spree that lasted over the last 30 days," said Sgt. Torres.
The suspect himself is described as a white or Middle Eastern man, between 30 to 40 years old, slim and about 6 feet tall.
The victim's identity hasn't been released.
