MONROVIA, Calif. (AP) — A man fleeing immigration authorities outside a Home Depot store in Southern California was struck and killed by an SUV when he ran across a nearby freeway, officials said.

The city manager of Monrovia said someone fled the immigration activity at a Home Depot onto the 210 Freeway and was hit by a vehicle.

Several dozen people gathered outside a Home Depot in Monrovia, California, on Thursday evening to protest federal immigration raids — including one that apparently led to the death of a day laborer hours earlier.
