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.

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. Police in the city of Monrovia about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles received a call Thursday about the presence of U.

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.
