The Los Angeles Police Department is looking for a driver who fatally struck a pedestrian in Venice earlier this month and fled without stopping to help.
Just before 2 a.m. on Sept. 20, a 23-year-old Angeleno was walking across Washington Boulevard at Lincoln Boulevard when he was hit by a blue SUV, police said in a news release.
That man was in a crosswalk when he was struck, the SUV did not stop and was last seen heading east on Washington, police said.
The man, meanwhile, was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
A reward of up to $50,000 is available for information leading to the driver.
Anyone with information is asked to call LAPD West Traffic Detectives at 213-473-0234.
During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247).
To report information anonymously, call CrimeStoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477) or send a text to phone number 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone. All text messages should begin with the letters “LAPD.”
