A California man was pulled out from his truck and beaten to death on the street for intentionally targeting pedestrians from behind his wheel.
Melguin Lopez Santos, 40, was killed early Saturday morning after he was kicked out Rock It Sports Lounge and Grill in Hawthorne for being a “nuisance.”
Santos left but later returned to drive his vehicle onto the sidewalk in a bid to hit customers and pedestrians around the area.
“Surrounding patrons then attempted to take the driver out of his vehicle, but he accelerated and drove his truck into a nearby building,” police said.
“Patrons again took the driver out of his vehicle, and a physical altercation ensued.
When Hawthorne Police officers reached the scene “they saw the driver lying on the ground, suffering what appeared to be blunt force trauma.”
“Paramedics provided life-saving measures, but he was pronounced deceased on scene.”
Investigators said that there is grainy surveillance footage of the brawl but “you couldn’t tell who was doing what.”
