An automobile that struck and killed a lady in South Los Angeles is being sought after by police. On October 7, at approximately 8:50 p.m., a fatal collision happened on Imperial Highway, just west of Parmelee Avenue.
The Los Angeles Police Department said that the victim was Denise Barkus, 62. As Barkus was crossing the road outside of a crosswalk, a car struck her. The vehicle kept racing away instead of stopping to offer assistance.
