Police on Wednesday identified a man whose body was discovered in a West Valley City street overnight — the apparent victim of a hit-and-run, auto-pedestrian episode.
Police used fingerprints to identify the victim as 19-year-old Linus Alsano, of West Valley City, who was not carrying any identification.
Public safety dispatchers received a 911 call from a female driver at 11:15 p.m. Tuesday reporting that an unconscious man in his 20s was lying in an eastbound lane of 3100 South at 1907 West.
West Valley City police spokeswoman Roxeanne Vainuku said the woman attempted cardio-pulmonary resuscitation until paramedics arrived. However, Alsano, who sustained severe, traumatic injuries, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators were on the scene looking for evidence at the scene Wednesday morning and canvassing the area “to find out if anyone heard or saw something,” she added.
Police said they had no immediate information about the suspect vehicle.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call WVCPD at 801-840-4000.
