Las Vegas law enforcement is currently on the lookout for a vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run incident in the Central Valley. Around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, Metro police were dispatched to the scene of an accident involving a pedestrian near Harmon Avenue and Paradise Road.
Evidence gathered at the scene, coupled with witness statements, revealed that the pedestrian was attempting to cross Harmon Avenue west of Paradise Road, outside of a designated crosswalk.
At that moment, a midsized SUV traveling westbound on Harmon Avenue struck the pedestrian, propelling him onto the roadway. The driver of the SUV did not stop and fled the scene immediately after the collision.
The pedestrian, a 62-year-old man, was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead. This tragic incident has left the community in shock and mourning as police intensify their search for the responsible driver.
According to the police, the SUV involved in the accident is characterized by damage to the right front headlight assembly and hood. It also features dark-tinted windows and chrome rims.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the SUV or the driver to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at (702) 828-3535. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
In the wake of such a devastating event, it’s important to consider the types of compensation that might be available to the victim’s family.

These compensations are crucial in alleviating some of the financial burdens that come with such unexpected tragedies.
