Hit-and-Run Traffic Collision Leaves Pedestrian Dead – NR21312dm

Los Angeles: Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Traffic Division are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect involved in a hit-and-run traffic collision that killed a man.

On November 4, 2021, around 7:50 p.m., a vehicle was traveling east on Sunset Boulevard and Allenford Avenue when it struck a pedestrian standing in the roadway, outside of a marked crosswalk. The driver fled the scene without stopping, identifying themselves, or attempting to render aid as required by law.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded and transported the pedestrian to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The pedestrian was identified as 22-year-old Dev Singh. LAPD Media Relations Division sent out a news release (NR21311dm) on November 3, 2021, listing Dev as a missing person.

There is no video surveillance and no suspect description.

Drivers are reminded that if they become involved in a collision, they should pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves.

The public is also reminded that, as pedestrians, they should exercise caution when crossing streets by doing so in a safe manner, obeying traffic lights, crossing within marked crosswalks, and obeying the rules of the road.

On April 15, 2015, the City Council amended the Los Angeles Administrative Code and created a Hit-and-Run Reward Program Trust Fund. A reward of up to $50,000 is available to community members that provide information leading to the offender’s identification, apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil compromise.
