Reward offered in search for suspect in deadly hit-and-run
A $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a motorist sought in a hit-and-run collision in Boyle Heights that left a woman dead and her 5-year-old daughter severely injured, Los Angeles police said.
Korina Campos, 27, was taking her daughter out of her 1998 Honda Civic, parked on Boyle Avenue, when she was hit by a 2001 Toyota Corolla traveling south about 1:50 p.m. Saturday, police said.
The driver of the Corolla lost control of his car while attempting to make a turn, police said. The car spun and hit Campos and her daughter, and the driver abandoned his vehicle and fled south, according to police.
The man may have been bleeding from an abdominal-area injury, police said.
Campos suffered multiple blunt force trauma injuries and was taken to Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center, where she later died. Her daughter, who was transported to the same hospital, is expected to recover.
Officials are offering a $50,000 reward that leads to the apprehension and conviction of the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact the LAPD Central Traffic Division Detectives at (213) 833-3713 or Det. Felix Padilla at (213) 486-0753. Those wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
