Starting this week, Hoodline will be running some stories from Bay City News, a regional wire service that has provided reporting from around the Bay Area since 1979. Expect to see news about court activity, police and fire emergencies, government meetings, and other key topics.

Police are asking for the public's help to solve a fatal hit-and-run that killed a 65-year-old man and injured a 64-year-old woman crossing a San Francisco street last year, police said today.

On December 3rd at about 5:25pm, Chinese citizen Langing Dong was crossing the street with a woman near Valdez Avenue and Monterey Boulevard in the city's Westwood Highlands neighborhood, according to police.

A vehicle then struck the pair. Dong was dragged a short a distance by the vehicle, fatally injuring him, police said.

The woman suffered injuries not considered life-threatening, according to police.

The vehicle is described as a dark colored 1999-2003 Toyota Sienna minivan.

Anyone with information about the minivan or its driver are being asked to contact police at their anonymous tipline at (415) 575-4444 or to text TIP411 with SFPD at the beginning of the message.
