A man was killed Wednesday in an apparent hit-and-run near Columbus Park in Austin on the West Side.

About 2:40 a.m., officers responded to calls of a person laying in the street in the 800 block of South Central Avenue and found 41-year-old Bryan J. Reese unresponsive, Chicago police said and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

He appeared to have been hit by a car, police said. No one is in custody as police search for possible witnesses to the crash.

An autopsy did not rule on the cause and manner of his death pending further investigation, according to the medical examiner’s office.

Chicago police’s Major Accident Unit is investigating.
