Police said the vehicle fled the scene and drove eastbound on Garnet Avenue.
While police have not released details about the recovered vehicle, investigators initially believed the car involved in the crash was a newer model silver four-door Hyundai Elantra.
After conducing follow-up interviews, investigators learned that the three victims had been in an altercation with a man and woman minutes prior to them being struck by the vehicle. In late August, police released still photos of a man and woman from surveillance video taken that day.
