The Los Angeles Police Department is searching for the driver of a black truck wanted in a hit-and-run of a 70-year-old man in Manchester Square in January.

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Police Department is looking for information on a suspect wanted for a fatal hit-and-run incident in Manchester Square in January.

New video released by LAPD Thursday shows what happened on the night of Jan. 27. Adolph Lyons was crossing Van Ness Avenue where it intersects with Manchester Avenue, when shortly after 9:30 p.m., a black truck turning onto Van Ness hit Lyons in the crosswalk. The truck then backs up, drives around Lyons and pulls over.

It then looks like someone gets out of the truck and approaches Lyons, before returning to the truck, which then drives off northbound on Van Ness.
