PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. - A man was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Prince George’s County and his family wants your help finding the driver who killed him.

Barry Mithcell’s sister told FOX 5 he was a disabled veteran who fought in Iraq.

The 55-year-old was walking home on the 9000 block of Contee Road in Laurel around 8:10 Sunday night after getting dinner at a nearby fast food restaurant.

Prince George’s County police say a dark blue 2018-2019 Hyundai Sonata sedan hit Mr. Mithcell and kept on going.

Detectives believe that the vehicle they're looking for should have front-end damage to the passenger side, the headlights, and the grille.

Officers found Mitchell’s body on Contee Road, suffering from trauma.

Medics drove him to a hospital where he later died.

Detectives are asking anyone who has any information on this hit-and-run to contact them.

Kevin Eisenfrats is developing the 'male IUD'
Interest in male birth control has increased in the past few years, especially since the U.S. overturned Roe vs. Wade, which protected a woman's right to have an abortion. Since then, states have tried to make abortion nearly impossible, prompting an increased look at contraceptives to allow both men and women to have more control over family planning. This conversation has led to the topic of male birth control — something doctors haven't quite mastered until now, perhaps.
