A Long Beach police officer was flagged down by someone at 9:29 p.m. Thursday to report that Cardenas was struck in the 1900 block of Pacific Avenue by a speeding, southbound vehicle, the Long Beach Police Department reported.

The vehicle fled the location and Cardenas was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
