Paramedics with the police tried to revive Barrera and failed. They pronounced him dead and took his body to the coroner for identification. The officers conducted a preliminary investigation that disclosed that the deceased was jogging on South Raitt Street near West St. Anne Place before his tragic end.
Witnesses said that Barrera was trying to cross the street when a white-four door sedan struck him. The driver of the vehicle, who remains at large, fled the scene without rendering help to the victim or leaving behind any information on his or her identity.
The police are actively investigating the case, and they have asked anyone with helpful information to contact the SAPD on the listed line. There is no additional information at the time of this report.
Under California law, a hit-and-run causing death carries a vehicular manslaughter charge and a prison sentence. Offenders should hire a car injury attorney to represent their interest and give them legal advice.
