The National Day Laborer Organizing Network is hosting Friday's 6 p.m. event at 1625 Mountain Avenue in memory of the man who died.

To the more than 300 people gathered at the corner of Mountain East Evergreen avenues in Monrovia, the man who died after he ran onto the 210 Freeway in Monrovia and was hit by an SUV now has a name.

A man was hit and killed on the 210 Freeway Thursday in Monrovia as he was fleeing from an ICE operation at a Home Depot in Monrovia.

A vigil was held Friday evening at the Monrovia Home Depot store that was the scene of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid that city officials say prompted a man to flee onto the Foothill (210) Freeway,

The man ran from the scene, crossed Evergreen Avenue and entered the eastbound 210 Freeway, said Monrovia City Manager Dylan Feik. CHP officers said they received a report just before 10 a.m. that someone had been hit by a SUV on the freeway near Myrtle Avenue.
