Authorities released the name of a 66-year-old man killed in a hit-and-run crash in March in Washington Park on the South Side.

He was identified as Wayman A. Haynes of Bronzeville by the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

He was struck by a blue Lincoln MKS about 7:35 p.m. March 25 while he crossed the street in the 100 block of East 51st Street, Chicago police said. He died on the scene and an autopsy ruled his death an accident.
