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.

The brothers were reported not to have been in a crosswalk.
