Marcus Sepulveda, a 41-year-old male, was identified by authorities as the driver in a fatal hit-and-run incident. The victim of the crash was Benjamin Harrison, a 41-year-old man from Butte who was riding his motorcycle.
The collision occurred around 2 a.m., and Harrison was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following the incident, law enforcement began a search for the driver of the vehicle that fled. Later that same day, the investigation led them to a campground near Deer Lodge. It was there that officers discovered Marcus Sepulveda, deceased in a tent.
