Overview
- Police responded just before 12:30 a.m. Sunday to reports of a pedestrian struck by a train near South 13th Street and West Burnett Avenue in the Park Hill neighborhood.
- The Jefferson County Coroner identified the victim Monday as 47-year-old Antonio Rondo and classified the manner of death as an accident.
- Early police accounts said officers found the man dead at the scene while the coroner's report says he died at the hospital, and that timing discrepancy has not been resolved in published reports.
- LMPD's Homicide Unit has opened a death investigation, a routine step local authorities use for unexplained or fatal incidents that involve trains.
- Officials have not yet released findings about what led to the collision and further updates are expected as investigators work to establish the sequence of events.
