Narrative:
 
On 12/09/2023, at approximately 06:06 AM, Thousand Oaks Deputies responded to the area of Janss Road and Windsor Drive reference a subject disturbing.  Several calls to Sheriff’s Dispatch advised there was a male running in the roadway and attempting to open doors of vehicles traveling in the area. An additional reporting party advised the male tried to open the door of his vehicle, before jumping into and out of the bed of his pick-up.  All reporting parties left the scene before the arrival of deputies.
 
When deputies arrived on scene, a male subject was located unresponsive on the north sidewalk of the intersection of Janss Road and Windsor Drive.  Ventura County Fire and Medical Professionals responded and attempted life saving measures. The male subject was declared deceased on scene.
 
Thousand Oaks Traffic Bureau Investigators responded to the scene and located evidence that suggested the male pedestrian was struck by a vehicle near the intersection, and the vehicle fled the scene of the collision. The evidence suggested the vehicle was traveling westbound on Janss Road in the number two lane, collided with the pedestrian near the intersection, fled westbound on Janss Road, and turned northbound onto Montgomery Road.
 
The name of the pedestrian will be held pending notification to his next-of-kin by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office.
 
If anyone has any information relating to the collision, please contact Senior Deputy Marcos Moreno at the Thousand Oaks Traffic Bureau.
