Police seek hit-and-run driver in woman’s death

The LAPD released this photo of a vehicle involved in a fatal Oct. 6, 2023, hit-and-run.

The Los Angeles Police Department is looking for the driver who fatally struck a pedestrian in Wilmington last month.

The white sedan fled the scene, and the woman succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital three weeks after she was struck.
