Ozark teen's hit-and-run bicycle death remains unsolved; car & driver found, but no charges filed | Springfield News-Leader
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
At Ozark High School's graduation earlier this month, one seat was left empty. It's where Timothy Sparks would have sat, but Sparks was killed by a car that struck him while riding his bicycle on July 3. . . .
Days after Sparks's death, a tip about a nearby party led police to seize a vehicle, and shortly thereafter a man called police to confess to the hit-and-run, court records say.
However, no charges have been filed, and both Ozark Police and Christian County Prosecutor Amy Fite said the case is still under investigation.
