New photos released by the Florida Highway Patrol suggest that the hit-and-run suspect being sought after striking and killing dog walker Wednesday might have set fire to the vehicle that was involved. 

The Florida Highway Patrol said Casselberry police located an abandoned SUV about a mile away from the deadly hit-and-run collision that killed a 63-year-old man walking his dog Wednesday night near the intersection of Eagle Circle and Shadow Oak Drive. 

Authorities said the victim walked into the path of the vehicle and was truck. The driver fled the scene.
