A 43-year-man was struck and killed by a vehicle whose driver fled Tuesday in Sun Valley.
The original call came in at about 6:05 a.m. Tuesday for a man down in the area of Laurel Canyon and Roscoe boulevards, according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Kevin Terzes.
A canopy was requested to cover the body, he said.
There was no description of a suspect or vehicle.
The victim was later identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner as Erik Florer.
Investigators remained at the scene two hours after the body was found.
