Thank you all for your service to our community!🇱🇷
How about you start doing something about all the illegal mufflers that are disturbing people. I heard them all night long, especially when the weather is nice. Some I can hear from 4 blocks away! Last time I checked, it was illegal to make your vehicle louder than stock.

There's an awful lot of assumptions being made in the comments, and only two people showing the slightest bit of concern about either the deceased, his family, or the driver. Where is the understanding and compassion toward a life lost, the family who lost their loved one, the driver who will remember this moment for the rest of his life and may be traumatized by the memory? My heart goes out to all of them, and whoever the man is, may he rest in peace.
Praying for all involved
Such a sad situation! Prayers for all involved!
Praying for both
Prayers to the family
Another one!
Love and prayers for all!
Took a day to SAY IT
So sad for everyone involved.
Was he at a çrosswalk? No one stops for pedestrians at the crosswalks anymore!! Not even the police!!..I get honked at for crossing at crosswalks because the dumb fuck driver doesn't know the law that pedestrians have the right of way!!!.prayers that wasn't the case in this matter...
My heart saddens for the driver and the family of the deceased man. 
I think we need more lighting💡at the intersections it’s to dark out there and people driving can’t see them crossing🦽or walking!!!🚶♀️😡
People always run out in front of me whenever they want to on N 1st.
What a sad situation
It probably took a day for the lab to due there job and send the report to the cops
A person ran right out in front of me tonight as I was taking my Grandson home. Didn't even use the cross walk on Yakima Ave.
No cops....a day late message to the public.
Bad management...
Isnt that near the jail and .........and he was in a chair? No cops around
This is very unfortunate but until yall do something about the homeless crossing wherever when ever in front of what ever it will continue to happen
