The Los Angeles Police Department is seeking a pair of drivers who ran over a motorcyclist who'd been ejected from his vehicle and was lying in a Northridge roadway last month.

Just before 10 p.m. on Oct. 17, the motorcyclist, whose identity has not been released, was headed east "at a high rate of speed" on Devonshire Avenue when he ran a red light at Louise Avenue and hit a northbound vehicle, police said in a news release .

The motorcyclist was ejected, and two vehicles headed west on Devonshire hit him without stopping to help or identify themselves.

Police previously said that the man, who was declared dead at the scene, was in his early 20s.

Blurry video shared by police shows two vehicles, a white SUV and white sedan, hit the man without stopping. Police have shared images of those vehicles suspected of hit-and-run.
