A two-year-old boy, Carlos Suarez, was killed after being struck by a car driven by an uncle. The boy had wandered from inside his parent's residence and out in to the street. The kid’s 33-year old uncle was backing an SUV out of the driveway, apparently unaware that his nephew was in the street behind him.
Family members rushed the boy to Sharp Hospital in Chula Vista where emergency medical personnel attempted to save him. They were unable to.
The circumstances that lead to the child's death were investigated by Chula Vista Homicide. Thus far, it has been classified as an accidental murder; the uncle, however, is being cited with driving on a suspended license.
