Street Quarrel Ends With Hit-Run Death

A Sepulveda man was killed Tuesday when a group of people with whom he had argued intentionally ran over him with a car on a Panorama City street, Los Angeles police said.

The victim, 44, whose name was not released while police attempted to notify his family, was killed in the 8600 block of Willis Avenue about 12:25 a.m., police said.

Police said the victim got into an argument with three men and a woman that ended when the four people got into a car and the victim was then run over.

The victim died at the scene, an area where frequent drug activity has been reported, police said. Neither the car used in the attack nor the suspects had been found by police. Detectives were attempting to determine the nature of the dispute that led to the killing.
