numSlides of totalImages Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a driver who was involved in a fatal hit-and-run Monday.

Officials Thursday said Carlos Perez, a 59-year-old pedestrian killed in the hit-and-run, was likely hit by a dark-colored 2005 or 2006 Infiniti G35.

Perez, of Whittier, was crossing Alameda Street, south of East Eighth Street, when he was hit just after 3 a.m., according to Officer Bruce Borihanh of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"There is still no driver information," Borihanh said.

Authorities urged anyone with information about the hit-and-run to call Central Traffic Detective Felix Padilla or Josephine Mapson at (213) 972-1845 or 1-877-LAPD-24-7.
