MILWAUKEE — A pedestrian was struck and killed near 27th and Parnell Wednesday evening.
The victim, a 71-year-old Greenfield man, died from his injuries at the scene. He was identified as Lawrence Strzelecki from Greenfield.
The Milwaukee Police Department says it happened around 7:15 p.m.
The driver remained at the scene. Police identified the driver as a 56-year-old man from Illinois.
According to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office, Strzelecki was reported missing by his family nearly an hour before the incident occurred.
