The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a deadly hit-and-run that occurred early Friday morning in Koreatown.
Officers responded to Wilton Place, between 5th and 6th Street, at about 1:15 a.m. where they found an adult woman in her 30s that had been struck by a vehicle, said LAPD.
Authorities say the victim was driving southbound on Wilton Place when for unknown reasons she parked and got out of her car and laid on the street. That's when a vehicle traveling northbound on Wilton hit her and didn't stop to help, according to LAPD.
The victim, identified only as a 33-year-old Los Angeles woman, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police described the vehicle involved in the crash as a black Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call traffic investigators at 213-473-0234; 877-LAPD-247; or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.
