A man fleeing the raid was killed on a nearby freeway, a city official said.
A man was hit and killed on the 210 Freeway on Thursday as he tried to flee federal agents raiding a Home Depot in Monrovia.
This morning started like any other, he said, until he heard people start to yell, “La migra, corre.”
As workers scrambled away from the agents, one person fled the hardware store on foot, jumped a concrete wall and entered the eastbound 210 Freeway.
Monrovia resident Karen Suarez said she rushed to the Home Depot as soon as she heard about the raid and met the daughter of the man who was hit by a car.
A bouquet of flowers and two prayer candles were placed opposite the 210 Freeway as a memorial for the man who was killed.
In July, Jaime Alanís Garcia, 57, was killed during an immigration raid at a farm in Ventura County. »
