Investigators say Vasquez was attempting to cross Cesar Chavez Road at about 12:06 a.m. on January 1 when he was struck by a white Toyota Sienna driven by Trujillo. 

Vasquez was pronounced dead at the scene. Trujillo is accused of fleeing the scene on foot. He turned himself in to authorities a few days after the crash.

Court records show Trujillo is scheduled to appear in a pre-trial hearing set for Jan. 10, 2023.
