The crash occurred in the 5300 block of Chollas Parkway at 1 a.m., according to Officer Robert Heims of the San Diego Police Department.
The victim, Jay Jackson, 48, was standing next to a parked vehicle along Chollas Parkway when a vehicle was traveling southbound on the wrong side of the street and struck him. The vehicle fled the scene and was last seen southbound on 54th street. Jackson died from injuries sustained from the collision, SDPD said.
