An argument ended in a driver striking and killing a pedestrian before fleeing early Sunday, Dec. 7, in Long Beach, according to police.<\/p>\n
Officers arrived around 1:50 a.m. and found Samuel Ocegueda, 28, of Long Beach, unconscious in the 1700 block of Newport Avenue after a driver hit him with his vehicle on purpose and drove away, according to a\u00a0 Long Beach Police Department statement.<\/p>\n
Paramedics provided medical care, but Ocegueda died at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe Ocegueda and Isai Solis, 28, of Lynwood got in an argument before Solis struck Ocegueda with his dark-colored sedan while he was crossing Newport outside of the crosswalk, police said.<\/p>\n
Solis fled in his vehicle southbound on Newport and westbound on Wilton Street, police said.<\/p>\n
Police arrested Solis on suspicion of murder in the 12400 block of Santa Fe Avenue in Lynwood. His bail was set at $2 million.<\/p>\n
