Police seeking hit-and-run driver behind wheel of Porsche that killed pedestrian in South LA
Authorities are still seeking for the hit-and-run driver who was behind the wheel of a Porsche when they hit and killed a 40-year-old man in South Los Angeles early last month.
It happened on Jan. 7 at roughly 7:20 p.m. near 53rd Street and Figueroa Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to police, the pedestrian, Jose Martinez, was walking in a crosswalk eastbound on 53rd when he was hit by a silver Porsche Cayenne driving north on Figueroa.
Instead of stopping to rescue Martinez, the motorist continued on, leaving him to die on the spot.
As with any deadly hit-and-run in Los Angeles, a $50,000 reward is being given to anyone with information that leads to the suspect’s identification, arrest, and conviction.
Anyone who knows more is urged to contact detectives at (323) 421-2500.
