Falmouth police said they located a vehicle believed to have been involved in the crash along Grand Avenue in Falmouth Heights that killed 81-year-old Michael Leis of Framingham.
Leis was walking with a group of people on a sidewalk when the car reportedly went off the road and struck him at a high rate of speed last Friday night.
