Pedestrian Crash Occurred at 74th and Figueroa Streets, west of Harbor (110) Freeway
VERMONT KNOLLS, CA, (August 18, 2025) - A pedestrian was tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash Monday night in the Vermont Knolls neighborhood of South Los Angeles.
Marcos Antunez Dominguez, 33, was fatally struck by a hit-and-run driver Monday night in the Vermont Knolls neighborhood of South Los Angeles, police said.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the victim as Marcos Antunez Dominguez, 33.
According to police, an unknown vehicle struck Dominguez at the intersection of 74th and Figueroa Streets, just west of the Harbor (110) Freeway, shortly before 10 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities are actively searching for the driver who fled and continue to investigate the fatal collision.
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED
Even a minute's delay in medical attention after a serious crash can cost a life. Leaving the scene helps no one — not the victim, and not the driver. Nearly 65 percent of people killed in hit-and-run crashes were pedestrians or bicyclists, according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney and a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.
Added Bond, the national analyst for The Legal Advocate, “The driver always has to take great care behind the wheel.”
An attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash and has the resources to hire expert witnesses, locate witnesses to the crash, and review applicable insurance coverage.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the investigation, the family of Marcos Antunez Dominguez may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Such claims allow family members to seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a catastrophic accident.
“The stress and sorrow after losing a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.
“A wrongful death attorney will monitor the official investigation and work to ensure that the victim’s legal rights and the family’s best interests are fully protected.”
