DURHAM, N.C. — Durham police are investigating a Sunday morning hit-and-run incident that left a 49-year-old man dead.

Officers were dispatched to Angier Avenue between Carter Avenue and Commonwealth Street at about 6:15 a.m., where the body of Isidro Razo, of Angier Avenue, was found. Razo was riding a bicycle westbound on Angier Avenue when he was struck by a vehicle, police said.

Family members said Razo was a construction worker with three adult children in Mexico.

"Someone did kill him and I think there needs to be justice found because it's not fair for someone, you know, you drive by you need to call an ambulance," said Vanessa Canupo, Razo's niece. "It's just hard."

Investigators are looking for a black vehicle in connection with the hit and run. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200. Callers may remain anonymous.
