Officials have identified the man struck and killed by a vehicle along Highland Avenue late Monday but they have not arrested the driver who failed to stop.
Cris Ringor Dano, 49, of San Diego was pushing a shopping cart across the road when he was struck by an oncoming car.
The collision happened around 10:30 p.m. Monday on Highland Avenue near East 30th Street.
Dano died while emergency personnel were transporting to a nearby hospital, police said.
After the crash, officers said the car that struck Dano made a U-turn and headed southbound on Highland.
Investigators believe it’s a gold or silver vehicle with front-end damage, last seen driving westbound on State Route 54.
NCPD says the investigation is continuing, and they will be checking nearby businesses for surveillance video.
