Police sought the public’s assistance Wednesday in locating a hit-and-run suspect who fatally struck a 33-year-old man in North Hollywood.
The collision occurred Sept. 13 around 1:50 a.m. near the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Craner Avenue, where a dark-colored vehicle struck a man outside of a crosswalk and failed to stop, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Paramedics took the victim to a hospital, where he later died. The county Department of Medical Examiner withheld the man’s name pending notification of relatives.
A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered by the city for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect.
“Motorists are reminded that if they become involved in a collision, they should pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves,” the police department said in a statement.
Anyone with information regarding the fatal hit-and-run collision was urged to contact LAPD Valley Traffic Division Investigator Reyes at 818-644-8114. Calls during non-business hours or weekends should be directed to 877-527-3247. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
