ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. – When their loved one did not return from a graduation party Saturday night, family members went looking for the man.
The 22-year-old's body was found in a ditch along Avon Road near Adams Road in Rochester Hills.
UPDATE: Suspected driver thought she hit deer, police say
"I could not imagine finding my siblings or parents on the side of the road. That would destroy me, honestly," said Coleman Fresquez, who lives in the area.
Police said the man had gotten into an argument with his girlfriend at the graduation party. He was last seen walking away from the home about 10 p.m. Saturday.
Hit-and-run suspected
There are no sidewalks in the area where he was found. Neighbors said drivers do tend to stick to the speed limit on this stretch of Avon Road.
"Once in a while I drive down there and I see pedestrians, cars usually follow the speed," said Fresquez.
Deputies said the incident looks like a possible hit-and-run.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-7732-587.
