The Cleveland Division of Police is asking for the public's assistance in identifying the vehicle or driver involved in a fatal hit-skip that happened early Saturday morning.
At about 2:45 a.m., officers responded to a report of a person struck at the 13900 block of Lorain Avenue, Diaz said.
Diaz said once officers arrived, they found a man in his 30s lying unconscious in the street.
Cleveland EMS arrived at the scene, rendered medical aid and took the victim to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, Diaz said.
Preliminary information indicated the man was walking on Lorain Avenue when an unknown vehicle that police believe was traveling above the speed limit lost control and struck him, Diaz said.
Police believe the vehicle sustained damage to its front passenger fender, hood, windshield and the rear passenger bumper.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest of the alleged suspect. You can call 216-252-7463 with information about the suspect or the suspect's vehicle.
