Summary
Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran, 28, was identified by his wife as the Mexican man killed Tuesday after authorities said he ran from immigration agents near State Road 16 in St. Augustine.
Florida Highway Patrol said ICE and Homeland Security agents encountered four people in a car, and Coronilla Duran was struck by a semi-truck while trying to cross the highway.
Yésica Alamilla López said her husband was a father of two from Guanajuato who entered the United States on a tourist visa three weeks ago and had been in Florida for only two days.
Colectivo Árbol helped the family confirm his identity, and his wife went to the Mexican Consulate in Orlando to begin the process of returning his body to Mexico.
