Fatal Hit and Run Traffic Collision NR20306dm

Los Angeles: Detectives
from the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Traffic Division are
seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect
responsible for the Hit and Run traffic collision that killed
24-year-old Destin Moore.

On September 27, 2020, around 11:00 p.m., Olympic Area patrol
officers responded to a man down in the north/south alley west of
Vermont Avenue, north of Council Street. Los Angeles Fire
department paramedics responded and transported the victim to a
local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The case was given to detectives from the Los Angeles Police
Department’s West Bureau Homicide due to the injuries sustained by
the victim. The case was transferred to West Traffic Division after
the medical examiner from the L.A. County Coroner’s Office
determined the victim’s injuries were consistent with being struck
by a vehicle.

Drivers are reminded to drive at a safe speed and if you become
involved in a collision, you should pull over and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so, notify emergency services, and remain at the
scene to identify yourself.

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
who provide information leading to the offender’s identification,
apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil
compromise.

The two images on the left are of vehicles of interest and were
taken from video surveillance in the alley where the collision
occurred. The images on the right are not actual photos of the
vehicles.
