SOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles police are seeking the public's help in finding the three hit-and-run drivers responsible for striking and killing a pedestrian Sunday in the South L.A. neighborhood of Florence.

Jose Fuentes, 50, was crossing Central Avenue at 78th Street at about 7:39 p.m. when a motorcycle traveling northbound collided with him, according to LAPD.

While Fuentes was on the road, he was struck by two vehicles.

None of the drivers stopped to help and all three fled the scene.

LAPD described the motorcycle as a dark colored sport bike, and the driver is a man. Another suspect vehicle was described as a white colored sedan.

The agency released footage of the motorcyclist hitting Fuentes and then leaving the scene, and of the moment one of the cars hit him while he was on the ground.

Anyone with information should contact the LAPD's South Traffic division.
