professor emeritus was killed in a deadly hit-and-run ****** in Oakland on Monday.

The coroner has identified the victim as 77-year-old Michael Burawoy. He taught sociology at Cal.

Police said he was in the crosswalk at Grand Avenue and Park View Terrace at around 7:15 p.m. when he was hit by an SUV.

The driver fled the scene of the ******, officials said.

The Oakland Police Department did not provide any details about the suspect.

They said they hope anyone with information about the ****** will contact them.
