Authorities did not immediately release information on a possible suspect or the description of the vehicle.

People who live in the neighborhood said it's a dangerous area because there aren't enough street lights nearby.

"All the main street lights - they're off. They should be on. It's too dangerous, it's too dark," a resident said.

An investigation was ongoing.
