Fundraiser Underway For Dad Of 7 Killed By Suspected Drunk Driver

LONG BEACH, CA – A fundraiser is underway to cover the costs of a death of a man who was run over and killed in Long Beach. Victor Salvador Herrera, 40, who has seven children and a granddaughter, was pronounced dead at the hospital after he was run over near Market Street and Orange Avenue Saturday night.

Sokhorn Hor, 29, was believed to have engaged in a drunken fight with Herrera, a father of seven, moments before Herrera was run over and killed. Hor, a resident of Long Beach, was arrested on suspicion of murder and was being held at the Long Beach City Jail in lieu of $2 million bail.

"Victor was taken from his family way too soon," the Go Fund Me said. "The world lost one of the funniest, most loving people that could ever walk this Earth."
