DUARTE — Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich Friday offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a hit-and-run driver who fatally struck an 86-year-old man in front of his home.
Longtime Duarte resident and father of 12 Gabriel Barragan Abundio died at the scene of the crash, which took place about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 18000 block of Buena Vista Street, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.
A retired horse groom, Abundio was walking home from a bus stop after Christmas shopping when he was fatally struck by a vehicle described only as black, which then fled the scene, investigators and family members said.
