The U.S. Secret Service is seeking a suspect who killed a 75-year-old man and injured a child in a hit-and-run while fleeing Secret Service officers in downtown D.C. on Wednesday afternoon.

“A man was tragically killed today by a driver who fled officers for an expired registration,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
