Montoya Valdez’s identity was confirmed by the Guatemalan consulate, said Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, who was at the Home Depot parking lot in Monrovia on Friday. Montoya Valdez is from Jutiapa, Guatemala, he said.

A man fleeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity at a Home Depot was killed after running onto a freeway, California officials say. The Monrovia Police Department got a call about possible ICE activity at 9:43 a.

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.
