An up-and-coming MMA fighter has died after a vehicle hit him in Delray Beach this weekend. 

Investigators believe Jordan Parsons, 25, was crossing Federal Highway at Lindell Boulevard Sunday at 12:30 a.m.

They said Parsons was in the crosswalk with headphones in his ears when someone driving southbound on Federal Highway struck him.

Investigators are looking for a silver 2012 or 2013 Range Rover Sport. Officers found a side view mirror from that model at the crash scene.

Parsons was training in Boca Raton. He had a career record of 11-2 and was scheduled to have a fight May 14.
