Teen’s Death Tied to Hit-Run Driver
The body of an unidentified Latino teen-ager was found Saturday morning near Oceanside, apparently the victim of a hit-and-run driver.
Authorities said the victim, described only as a Juan Doe who appeared to have been an undocumented alien, was found in the center divider of Interstate 5, about two miles south of the San Onofre checkpoint.
Kathy Gill, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman, said the man had been dead four to eight hours. He was discovered about 7:15 a.m. by a passing motorist. No arrests have been made in the case.
