Precious Crosby, 33, surrendered at a local police station around 9 a.m. Police had been searching for the driver of a white Jeep Cherokee that struck Apollo on Nov. 14 and fled the scene without stopping.

Police say the driver of a white Jeep Cherokee that struck 13-year-old Apollo Rogers Thursday night made no effort to stop before leaving the scene.
"It was horrific," Apollo’s stepmother told FOX 4. "All you saw was blood and everything on the ground. It was not good seeing your 13-year-old child laying on the concrete."
Surveillance footage from nearby businesses helped police locate a white Jeep Cherokee with damage in a nearby parking lot. Investigators linked the vehicle to Crosby, and a warrant for her arrest was issued on Nov. 19.
Crosby turned herself in six days later and is now charged with causing a collision resulting in death. She remains in custody at a Fort Worth jail.
