TAMPA, FL -- Police are investigating a hit and run death Wednesday night on Waters Avenue.  62-year-old Douglas Lott was crossing Waters Avenue from the Tennessee Tavern, returning to his vehicle on the other side of the street.

He was struck by a white SUV, possibly a Nissan Exterra with custom rims.  Police say the impact knocked him back into another lane where it's believed he was hit a second time by a blue mini-van.

Both vehicles fled the scene.  Lott was pronounced dead after paramedics arrived.

Police are asking for the public's help in finding the drivers of the two vehicles.

Anyone with information is asked to call Tampa Police at 813-231-6130.
