The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is searching for a driver involved in an alleged hit-and-run crash on Saturday night that resulted in the death of a pedestrian.
According to LVMPD, the incident occurred on July 30th, around 9:40 pm near West Charleston Boulevard west of Essex Drive. Reports say a male pedestrian walking northbound across Charleston outside of a marked crosswalk was struck by a dark colored sedan.
LVMPD also stated that the sedan sped away from the scene without stopping to help the pedestrian, identified later by the Clark County Coroner’s Office as a 49-year-old Las Vegas man. He was taken to University Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
