Police found McNeil lying in the roadway on Jeff Davis Avenue near Weaver Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Selma Police Chief Robert Green said McNeil was riding a bicycle along the road when he was hit by the vehicle. The then driver fled the scene without attempting to get help.

Traffic investigators, led by Lt. David Evans and Sgt. Doug Stewart, were able to retrieve tangible pieces of evidence from the accident site.

Hall was arrested around 11 a.m. Thursday and taken to the Dallas County Jail under $5,000 bond.

Green could not comment on why the suspect fled the scene, but said there was no evidence of alcohol on the suspect at the time of the arrest.

The investigation is still ongoing and more charges could be filed.
