The deceased victim has been identified as 46-year-old Julie Johnson, while the injured has been named as 30-year-old Jayme Johnson.
As per the reports, deputies said the two women were struck by a vehicle on Molina Road near El Nopal.

Officers said Julie Johnson was admitted to an intensive-care unit but later died. Her daughter-in-law, Jayme Johnson, was also hospitalized with unspecified injuries and was then released Thursday afternoon.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help the Julie Johnson’s family and her funeral expenses.
Meanwhile, the teens did not stop to render aid and fled. Authorities were able to locate the vehicle and arrested one 16-year-old boy. He was booked into Juvenile Hall on felony hit-and-run charges.
