Detectives Searching for Driver in Fatal Hit-and-Run NR25183cm

Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) West Traffic Division detectives are searching for the driver involved in a hit-and-run traffic collision that left a pedestrian deceased.

On September 12, 2025, at 10:21 p.m., a dark or silver colored Honda RX was traveling northbound La Brea Avenue approaching Venice Boulevard at a high rate of speed. The vehicle struck a pedestrian crossing the street eastbound La Brea Avenue south of Venice Boulevard. The driver continued traveling northbound on La Brea Avenue through Venice Boulevard without stopping to identify themselves or render aid to the victim, as required by law.

The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded and transported the victim to a local hospital where they succumbed to their injuries and was pronounced deceased. The victim’s identity is being withheld until next of kin has been notified. Speed may have played a factor in this crash.

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.

On April 15, 2015, the City Council amended the Los Angeles Administrative Code and created a Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund. A reward of up to $50,000 is available to community members that provide information leading to the offender’s identification, apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil compromise.
