34-year-old woman killed by South Los Angeles hit-and-run driver while crossing street, police say

A pedestrian was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver in the South Los Angeles area late Saturday night and police are seeking help from the public in locating the suspect. 

It happened at around 10:50 p.m. near Manchester Avenue and Budlong Avenue, according to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department. 

Police say that a 34-year-old woman was walking northbound across Manchester in a marked crosswalk when a black sedan struck her. Instead of stopping to help, the suspect fled from the area. 

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has since identified the woman as Aaron Muhammad. 

A standing reward of up to $50,000 has been offered for anyone with information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the driver through the Los Angeles Administrative Code's Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund. 

Anyone with more information was asked to contact LAPD's South Traffic Division detectives at 323-421-2577.
