The 57-year-old pedestrian who was involved in a collision with a car in Ballymena has been named as John Corr.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses following the fatal collision on the Cushendall Road on Sunday (28 August) at around 10.20pm.
Detective Inspector Finlay said at this stage, police believe Mr Corr was walking along the road when a collision with a car occurred.
A man and woman, who police believe were the occupants of the car, then stopped before making off after realising the man was seriously injured.
Mr Corr sadly passed away at the scene.
“We believe that the offending vehicle was potentially a silver BMW and enquiries are ongoing to locate the driver and passenger.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who has information, particularly if you have any mobile phone or dash cam footage which could be of interest in our investigation or if you noticed a BMW car in the Ballymena area around 10.20pm. We can be contacted on 101, quoting reference 2134 28/08/22,” added the Inspector.
The Cushendall Road has now re-opened.
