King was re-elected as a probate judge in Jefferson County, Ala., in 2012. Karen was a library specialist at an elementary school,
The hit-and-run happened about 8:15 p.m. at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Quebec Street in Park Hill, a northeast Denver neighborhood. Police are searching for a blue or black sedan — possibly a Cadillac — with damage to the front end and windshield in connection to the crash.
