Chicago police have released images of the 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross wanted in the West Town hit-and-run death of a 66-year-old Halyna Hudzan.

According to authorities, the driver hit 66-year-old Halyna Hudzan as she was crossing the street in a crosswalk on Wednesday morning in the 700 block of North Oakley Boulevard. Following the collision, Hudzan was rushed to Stroger Hospital, where she was tragically pronounced dead.

The victim, Halyna Hudzan, was married to a former pastor at a church located in Ukrainian Village. The tight-knit church community is now urging the individual responsible for the hit-and-run to come forward and take accountability for their actions.

The crash happened blocks from St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, where her husband, a pastor, served for years.

“She was truly a priest’s wife,” said Phyllis Muryn Zaparaniuk, Administrative Specialist at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral. “Priests’ wives have a lot to do in the community. They have a lot to do in the church. They’re there to support their husbands, and they’re there to set an example for the community. And she did that in every aspect you can imagine.”

Church officials said Hudzan was known for always being willing to help.

“She sang in our church choir,” Zaparaniuk said. “Banquets and things that we… programs we put on here, she was actively helping in that.”

Even after Hudzan’s husband transferred to a parish near South Bend, they continued to live in Chicago and give back.

“When people came from Ukraine during the war, she was willing to help and do what she could to support these people, comfort these people, having come from Ukraine herself,” Zaparaniuk said. “For someone to just mow her down and run away, I hope they never have to experience what the people now are experiencing. Especially her family and her grandchildren.”

No one is in custody. Detectives are investigating.
