CLEVELAND (AP) - Authorities in northeast Ohio have identified the 16-year-old girl dragged to death by a vehicle during a late-night argument.

The Cuyahoga County medical examiner's office said Monday the victim is Rosaura Oquendo of Cleveland.

Police in Cleveland say the girl was standing next to the vehicle Sunday night when the driver accelerated, dragging the girl. She fell from the vehicle and later died at MetroHealth Medical Center.

Police are looking for an 18-year-old suspect who was driving a maroon Jeep.

Police say the unoccupied vehicle was found Monday morning several blocks away.
