[dropcap size=big]A[/dropcap] taquero in Highland Park is stepping up to raise money for a pair of brothers who were killed this past Sunday in a hit-and-run car crash.
Brothers Benny Felix-Zuniga and Jesse Felix-Zuniga were headed west on Pollard Street past San Pascual Avenue in Highland Park at around 1 am Sunday morning. The brothers were in a Ford Fusion that was hit by a Chevy Silverado, according to the LAPD. Police are still looking for two people who fled the scene after the crash. The victims were identified later by family members.
Villa's Tacos, a taco pop-up that serves “Los Angeles-Style” wood-grilled meats over blue-corn tortillas, is holding a fundraiser Wednesday, May 8, with all proceeds going to the grieving family, owner Victor Villa told L.A. Taco.
“I’m a member of the community,” Villa said. “I felt this was the least we could do.”
