A 44-year-old man who investigators say was intentionally run down in Lemon Grove and killed was identified Thursday as a Spring Valley resident.
Sheriff’s deputies received a call around 2:15 a.m. Monday of a hit-and-run on Broadway near Sweetwater Way, Lt. Michael Krugh said.
Deputies arrived in two minutes and found Brian Colvin lying in the center lane, Krugh said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
According to Krugh, Colvin was standing in the roadway in front of a vehicle and was speaking with the occupants. A few seconds later, the driver accelerated and struck Colvin, he said.
Investigators did not release any information about the driver.
Krugh said investigators are trying to gather more information to determine what led up to the fatal incident.
