A woman killed in an alleged hit-and-run has been identified as a 29-year-old mother-of-three.

Chapoth Bafel Gak Paul Deng was walking home from the shops when she was hit by a car on Stud Road at Dandenong, in Melbourne's south-east, at 9pm on June 7.

The impact threw Ms Deng into the middle of the road where she was hit by a second car.

The mother-of-three was rushed to hospital but later died.

Originally from Sudan, Ms Deng had been living in Australia since 2004.

Family members said they are still in shock over Ms Deng's tragic passing.

Her Aunty, Mariya Ngung Deng, said she will remember her sister as 'beautiful in and out'.

'She still had a life to live... she should be here,' she told 7News.

While the children know their mother is gone, they have so many questions about what happened which the family don't know how to answer.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help raise money for Ms Deng's family.

One of the drivers spoke with police at the scene while the other driver allegedly fled.

A 21-year-old man attended Cranbourne Police Station on Sunday.

He was taken into custody and interviewed, but released pending further enquiries.

It is alleged that one of the drivers spoke with police at the scene, but the other fled

Anyone with information, including dashcam footage, has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
