The longtime Long Beach resident, nicknamed “Tito” or “Chico,” was struck by a vehicle around 9:15 p.m. on Friday, April 14th, according to the Long Beach Police Department and MyNewsLA.
The married father of five children ages 4 to 19 years old was taken to a hospital as a “John Doe” as he had no identification with him. His family learned about the collision the next day.
