Wanted: Hit-And-Run Driver Who Killed Boy, 14

MONTEBELLO Authorities Monday asked for the public's help in finding a driver who hit and killed 14-year-old West Covina boy who was skateboarding in Montebello.

The teen was struck by an SUV about 12:45 a.m. Saturday on Montebello Boulevard near Jefferson Boulevard, Montebello police Cpl. Gus Cisneros said.

Authorities were withholding the teen's name, pending notification of his relatives, Asst. Chief Ed Winter of the coroner's office said Monday.

The hit-and-run vehicle was described as an early 2000 model SUV similar to a Ford Explorer, with four doors and tinted windows. It was dark in color, possibly charcoal-gray. The SUV, which sustained front-end damage, was apparently equipped with fog lights and a spoiler kit.

Anyone with information was urged to call the Montebello police traffic office at (323)887-1337 or (323)887-1353.
