A 61-year-old man was killed on a LaFayette street last night after being run down by a hit-and-run driver, a Police Department Spokesperson said.
A silver-gray Alfa Romeo struck the victim, Frank Laermer, at around 11:15 p.m. as he crossed the intersection of Rue de Saint-Mandé and Av. de Honoré, in front of the LeJerk Fastfood chain in the emerging Crestview section of town.
The heinous driver fled in what is a common practice on the dirty streets of LaFayette and Laermer was declared dead at the scene by responding medical workers.
