"The vehicle that was traveling in the left lane struck him," says Ofc. Brad Perez. "It failed to stop and render aid and continued going on; and unfortunately, the victim died of his injuries."
Surveillance photos show that there was a city bus stopped at a bus stop at that location dropping off and picking up passengers at the time of the deadly crash. There is no crosswalk at that intersection, but it is well-lit and the street lights were on.
If you have any information, call 817.392.4886.
