The Pueblo Police Department is investigating a deadly accident that happened on I-25 near North Elizabeth on Friday night.

Police say two men jumped the retaining wall onto I-25 and were attempting to run across the interstate toward the Pueblo Mall when one of them, a 17-year-old, was hit by a Jeep Cherokee driven by 41-year-old Brian Lucero.

The 17-year-old was taken to Parkview Hospital where he later died.

Witnesses say the second male was also hit by the Jeep, but continued running across the interstate. They searched the area but were unable to find him.

Police say they believe the two men were involved in a a shoplifting incident at K-Mart and were running away from the store.

The 17-year-old's name is not being released.

WOW! Irene, First of all lets use spell check. I am not the least bit familiar with "ghetto". See the simple fact is i have an education. I dont, nor do my chilren need to be a thief, they dont need to be afraid of the police and they dont 'struggle' I wouldnt want a 'gift' from my child or ANYONE ELSE if its shop lifted! Come one, stop trying to bash me, and look at the big picture. He paid the ultimate penalty for his actions. Like i said lets hope the other family members that think this is an occuptaion, learn a hard bitter lesson! Get a job and be productive. As far as u cleaning my home..No thanks, i would my a&$ off for the stuff i have and want it there when i get home from WORK! There are jobs in Pueblo, you just need to look and dont expect to be a CEO, with out an education, start from the bottom like everyone else. Good luck raising that money, i personally have better things to do with mine!
