Still no leads to find car that struck and killed Trumbull Co. man

LEAVITTSBURG — Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers continued to investigate leads late into the evening tonight that they received into the identity of the hit-and-run driver who killed a 19-year-old University of Akron freshman on Center of the World South Road early today.

“We have some tips and leads and are checking them out right now,” Sgt. Jeffrey Klem of the patrol's Southington post said about 8 p.m.

Luke Macaluso recently had completed his freshman year of college and was home for the summer, friends said.

Macaluso, 19, and his girlfriend, Brittany Russell, 18, of Warren, were walking south when the accident occurred. The two were walking toward Macaluso’s home, which is only a few hundred yards south of the accident site, which is just south of state Route 5 in Braceville Township, about a mile east of the Ohio Turnpike.
