A 17 year old pedestrian was fatally hit, by a vehicle involved in a possible street race, while crossing the street with his brother.

At around 8:30 p.m. on July 30th, Milton Marquez, 17, and his brother Daniel Menjivar were walking home after an errand to the pharmacy when they were struck on the 7000 block of Whitsett Avenue.
