The victim has been identified as 70-year-old John McGuinness, also of Woburn.
Investigators were able to identify fluids from the driver's vehicle, which they were able to follow back to an apartment building on Montvale Avenue, where they found a maroon Honda Pilot with heavy front end damage.
They were able to locate Coreas, who they said was driving the vehicle, a short time later.
