The Los Angeles Police Department is asking for the public’s help in tracking down the driver in a hit-and-run that killed a 68-year-old man in South Los Angeles earlier this year.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was hit at Coliseum Street and La Brea Avenue at about 11 p.m. on March 20, police said in a news release.
The vehicle that hit him, which was moving “at a high rate of speed” east on Coliseum Street at the time, sped off without stopping to help. Police did not release a description of the vehicle.
The man, meanwhile, was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
A reward of up to $50,000 is available for information leading to the driver.
Anyone with information is asked to call Officer Lozada at 213-677-9791.
During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247).
To report information anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
