A pedestrian died late Wednesday in north Minneapolis after being hit by a driver who left the scene.
Officers found a man in his 30s lying on W. Broadway near Logan Avenue when they arrived at the scenearound 11:30 p.m., said police spokesman Garrett Parten. Police unsuccessfully performed life-saving efforts and the victim died at the scene, Parten said. The man's name has not been released.
Preliminary information indicates the man was hit by a vehicle that did not stay at the scene, Parten said. No one has been arrested and police did not give details about the type of vehicle involved.
Investigators from the Minneapolis Traffic Unit and forensic scientists from the Minneapolis Forensic Division processed the scene and collected evidence. Homicide investigators also responded, Parten said.
