A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information that helps police solve the hit-and-run death of a pedestrian in the south Los Angeles area.
The 67-year-old victim was hit by two vehicles shortly before 4 a.m. Wednesday on Main Street at 47th Place and died at the scene, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Authorities were withhelding his name, pending notification of his relatives.
A white 2005- to 2010-model Honda sedan was northbound on Main Street when it hit the man, who was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk, said LAPD Detective Jose De Leon of the Central Traffic Division.
“The pedestrian was then struck by another unknown type of vehicle traveling southbound on Main Street,” De Leon said. “Both drivers fled the scene.”
A standing reward of up to $50,000 was authorized by the Los Angeles City Council in 2015 for information that helps authorities solve fatal hit-and-run cases.
Anyone with information on the case was urged call De Leon at 213-833-3713; the Central Traffic Division watch commander at 213-486-3713; or 877-LAPD-24-7.
Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS, or go to www.lacrimestoppers.org.
