Los Angeles, CA (Jul 17, 2024)- On Tuesday, police sought the public’s assistance in locating a suspect involved in a fatal Exposition Park hit-and-run.
This tragic incident underscores the severe consequences of reckless driving and the need for vigilant community involvement in bringing perpetrators to justice.
On June 19, around 11:10 p.m., officers responded to a traffic collision in Exposition Park involving a pedestrian struck by a dark-colored SUV that fled the scene. The incident occurred near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Budlong Avenue, as reported by the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to detectives, the SUV was traveling eastbound on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard when it struck the pedestrian, who was standing in the middle of the road.
Instead of stopping, the driver continued eastbound toward South Walton Avenue, leaving the victim critically injured. Paramedics rushed the pedestrian to a hospital, but despite their efforts, the victim succumbed to the injuries sustained in the crash.
