Detectives are trying to solve the mystery behind a hit-and-run death of a man in the Conejo Valley.
Investigators say it happened early Saturday morning on Janss Road, just west of the Highway 23 interchange. 9-1-1 dispatchers received reports of a man running in the roadway, and trying to open the doors of passing vehicles.
When deputies reached the scene, they found a man on the ground. He was declared dead at the scene. The name of the 31-year-old Thousand Oaks man hasn’t been released yet.
Investigators think he was hit by a westbound vehicle which didn’t stop, and left the area. They’re looking for potential witnesses.
