According to a news release from Tucson Police, Ramon Z. Holguin was crossing South Alvernon Way near East 29th Street at about 8 p.m., when he was struck by a Chevrolet Impala.

Holguin was not in a crosswalk, marked or unmarked. Speed was not believed to be a factor, the news release said, but the streetlights south of the crash were not working at the time.
