Hit & Run Driver Sought

Los Angeles:  The Los Angeles Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying the driver of a black SUV that struck and killed 46-year-old Sheila Tudmon.

On Monday, June 1, 2009, at around 2:00 a.m., Tudmon was in the street, near the intersection of Arlington Avenue and 37th Street when she was hit by a SUV travelling northbound on Arlington Avenue.  The driver of the SUV failed to stop and render aid to Tudmon as required by law and continued driving northbound on Arlington Avenue.

Sheila Tudmon was transported to a local hospital where she later died of her injuries.

Anyone with information related to this crime is asked to call South Traffic Detectives at 323-290-6094, or 213-485-7336 and ask for the Watch Commander.  After hours or on weekends, calls may be directed to a 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (527-3247).  Callers may also text 'Crimes" with a cell phone or log on to www.lapdonline.org and click on web tips.  When using a cell phone, all messages should begin with "LAPD."  Tipsters may remain anonymous.

I hope that the LAPD will be looking at auto shops fixing the front of a Black SUV. I am her cousin and I want this person caught. Thanks

I Guss they won't be taking the car to the Body Shop Now.....

i agree with George

I would like to know why there has been no media coverage of thei killing. Is it because she is black and does not have money?
What have the police done to match the paint found at the accident. Also the class found has it been matched or did L.A. police just forget to do it as she is only another black person.

DID THE POLICE TELL THE FAMILY ABOUT VICTUMS ASSISTANCE? I THINK NOT.

Please do your job and give the family the justice it needs.

A loving Family Member.
