(WSVN) &#8211; Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office detectives are seeking the public\u2019s help to find the driver responsible for a <a href=\"https:\/\/wsvn.com\/news\/local\/broward\/deputies-search-for-driver-behind-fatal-hit-and-run-crash-in-pompano-beach\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/wsvn.com\/news\/local\/broward\/deputies-search-for-driver-behind-fatal-hit-and-run-crash-in-pompano-beach\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">deadly hit-and-run<\/a> in Pompano Beach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials on Friday released a flyer about last weekend\u2019s crash that, they said, claimed the life of 44-year-old Lacurtis Knight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to investigators, deputies found Knight dead near Southwest 10th Drive and Seventh Avenue with injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle, Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDeputies responded to a call of an individual lying in the grassy swale\u2026Injuries on the body were consistent with a possible hit-and-run or a vehicle crash,\u201d said BSO spokesperson Miranda Grossman. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigators believe the crash may have happened at a different location and whoever was responsible ultimately dumped his body at the intersection. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough their continued investigation, they were also able to determine that the crash didn\u2019t actually happen where the body was found. They believe it did happen somewhere else,\u201d said Grossman. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With no trace or evidence leading back to a damaged vehicle, deputies are seeking the community\u2019s help to bring a grieving family closure. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDetectives need people to come forward, whether they saw the body being dropped off there at that location or perhaps there was a crash nearby,\u201d said Grossman. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any information on this hit, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp. All rights reserved.
