A pedestrian died Wednesday night after being struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run in the east valley, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Metro Lt. Sean Miller said in a text message that the crash happened a little before 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday near Stewart Avenue and North Mojave Road in east Las Vegas.

The pedestrian, a 46-year-old Las Vegas man, was hit by a vehicle that was moving east on Stewart as it approached Mojave, Miller said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 2023 Chevrolet involved in the crash continued eastbound on Stewart and was later located abandoned.

This is the 128th traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction for 2025.
