MONROVIA, Calif. (AP) — A pedestrian fleeing immigration authorities outside a Home Depot store in Southern California was struck by a vehicle and killed on a nearby freeway, an official said.

Monrovia police received a call Thursday about the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. A responding officer saw ICE agents approaching the store and conducting enforcement activity there, City Manager Dylan Feik said in a statement.

Monrovia is about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles.

One person fled on foot and headed toward the nearby freeway, where he was struck by a vehicle, Feik said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died, the statement said.

“We extend our condolences for the individual and his family,” Feik said.
