Police Seek Community’s Help in Calvados Avenue Fatal Hit and Run

On Friday, July 14, 2017, at approximately 3:15 a.m., the Sacramento Police Department responded to the area of Calvados Avenue and Green Street for a subject down in the roadway. 

When officers arrived, they located an unresponsive male laying in the roadway. The Sacramento Fire Department responded to the scene and pronounced the male deceased. 

Due to the fatality and the evidence on scene, the Department’s Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) responded to the scene to take over the investigation. 

Through investigation, detectives believe the pedestrian, a 30-year-old male, was walking east of Calvados possibly carrying some wood, when he was struck by a vehicle.  The vehicle failed to stop after the collision and fled the scene. Investigators believe the vehicle may be a silver or white 4-door sedan, however they have no information on the driver. Detectives believe the vehicle possibly struck the victim around 2:00 a.m. 

The Sacramento Police Department is requesting the community’s assistance in identifying the driver and the vehicle that fled the scene.  If you have any information regarding this collision, please contact the Sacramento Police Department via the Hit-and-Run Tip line at (916) 808-6030, dispatch center at (916) 264-5471, or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357) or submit an anonymous tip using the free “P3 Tips” smartphone app.  Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
