Man killed in hit-and-run crash in Rialto

RIALTO, Calif. (KABC) -- A 28-year-old man was killed by a hit-and-run driver while crossing the street on Foothill Boulevard, east of Cedar Avenue, in Rialto Friday night.

Shortly after 10 p.m., Rialto police officers received a call regarding a pedestrian who was hit by a car. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man lying on the road. The man suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.

Family members identified the victim as Michael Zimora. A single candle marked the site of the hit-and-run Saturday.

"It's hard to think that someone would do this and not stop," Zimora's girlfriend Tamara Shearer said. "He has a family that loves him deeply."

Witnesses at the scene said the suspect was driving a light blue car that looked similar to a Chrysler 300 and that the car fled east down Foothill Boulevard after hitting Zimora.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rialto Police Department at (909) 820-2550.
