Investigators are trying to figure out what led to a hit-and-run death in Ventura County.

They found a 30-year-old Oxnard man on the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigators think the man was struck and killed while crossing the street. The vehicle fled the scene.

They are looking for witnesses, and surveillance camera video which might help determine exactly what happened, and who was responsible.
