HOUSTON - Houston police are investigating what happened after a child was run over near Chinatown.

Around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, police arrived at the 6000 block of Ranchester Drive at an apartment complex for a fatal auto-pedestrian crash.

HPD Sgt. David Rose said a 2-year-old was playing in the parking lot when a possible red sedan was backing up, ran the child over, and then left the parking lot. The mother was nearby but did not see the crash happen.
