A pedestrian who was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle earlier this week has died, leading Tacoma police to reclassify the case as a homicide investigation.
The incident occurred on July 20 near the intersection of East D Street and East 75th Street in Tacoma’s Eastside neighborhood. Officers responding to the scene found the victim suffering from life-threatening injuries and began emergency medical care before Tacoma Fire personnel transported him to a hospital in critical condition.
