GRAND PRAIRIE (CBSDFW.COM) - Friends and family members will hold a funeral on Wednesday afternoon for the 6-year-old boy who died in a hit-and-run crash in Grand Prairie last Thursday.

The search for the driver is in full swing, and detectives are releasing a new piece of information that could lead them to the suspect. After analyzing video from the scene, the Grand Prairie Police Department believes that the car which struck 6-year-old John Paul Raidy was a Toyota Yaris.

The boy was crossing the street with his family when he was hit by the vehicle. A passing woman tried to help out, but Raidy ultimately died from his injuries. A funeral will be held for the boy Wednesday at noon at Laureland Funeral Home.
