The Los Angeles Police Department are looking for a 21-year-old man who is accused of fatally striking a man as he crossed a busy road in the Van Nuys area of Los Angeles.

Roberto Ocampo, 21, is believed to have been behind the wheel of a white sedan as part of an illegal street race, speeding down Sepulveda Boulevard around 10:30pm on Friday night, when one of them hit 22-year-old Neri Ramirez Chalo.

According to surveillance footage, Chalo looked to have seen the two white cars as he was crossing the road.

Ocampo later fled the area but his white Infiniti G37 which was discovered close to the crash scene had damage consistent with the collision, according to LAPD Detective Josh Wade.

'We do believe he was the driver of the vehicle at the time of the collision,' Wade said.

'The force of the collision propelled Chalo down the roadway, at which point he came to rest,' Wade explained.

'We want his side of the story. We want to know what his involvement was that night of the accident,' Wade continued.

'These situations are tragic all the way around, and we can only urge Roberto to come forward and give a statement to us about the night of the accident,' he said.

LAPD Detective Josh Wade says he believed Ocampo's family are helping him evade the police

Around 30 cars passed by Chalo's body before a driver decided to get out an help

'The longer he takes to turn himself in, the more stresses he's putting on himself, the more stresses he's putting on this poor victim's family.'

The detective said that Ocampo was likely being helped out by family or friends in managing to avoid police.

Authorities have already been in touch with the 21-year-old's family and have urged Ocampo's parents to get urge him him to turn himself in as the driver.
