The California Highway Patrol is asking for the public's help in locating a hit-and-run driver that killed a 9-year-old boy early on Sunday morning.
Jesus Sanchez and his family were crossing Ford Boulevard just south of Cesar Chavez Avenue at 12:04 a.m. Sunday when a red car heading northbound struck him, CHP Officer Luis Mendoza said.
The red, late 1990s to early 2000s two-door Honda with tinted rear windows and a spoiler with brake lights did not slow or stop after hitting the Sanchez, Mendoza said. The car then ran through a light at Cesar E. Chavez Avenue at Ford and turned left.
Sanchez was transported to County-USC Medical Center where he died from his injuries.
CHP officials and members of the victim's family will be at the agency's East L.A. office Wednesday morning to ask for the public's help in finding the hit-and-run driver.
Anyone with information about the crash should call investigators Thomas Santiago or Robert Gomez at (323) 980-4600.
