ACWORTH, Ga. — Editor's Note: The video above is the initial report of the deadly hit-and-run.
An Acworth man is now facing a felony hit-and-run charge after police said he killed a little girl earlier this week.
Cobb County Police had been searching for the driver behind the death of a 7-year-old girl with autism since Jan. 9.
That's when police said the young girl unknowingly left her home and was walking along New McEver Road. The man struck the child later around 10:15 p.m., according to investigators.
Authorities arrested him Saturday night. Police said after requesting the public's help, it was video evidence that helped them track down the driver.
