A profound tragedy unfolded near SoFi Stadium when a 22-year-old security guard, Aaron Avery, was fatally struck by a Tesla. Avery had just completed his second day of work at the arena, having provided security and crowd control for a World Cup match.
He was walking home when the collision occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Monday.

Avery was rushed to the hospital, but sadly, he was pronounced brain dead the following afternoon.
