In a shocking incident at a Fairfield shopping center parking lot, a man was fatally struck and run over multiple times by a driver, leading to his death, according to California law enforcement officials. The tragic event unfolded at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7, when the driver of a Dodge pickup truck collided with the pedestrian and proceeded to run over him several times before fleeing the scene.

The authorities managed to apprehend 25-year-old Vakautakava Tangitau shortly after, arresting him on murder charges without any complications. The motive behind Tangitau's violent actions remains unclear, and the identity of the deceased has not been disclosed.
