Alonzo's friend says that Alonzo waited in a vehicle for his to friends to leave a nightclub because he couldn't get in. His friend says Alonzo forgot his license at home.. so Alonzo waited for them.
According to the police report, Alonzo later saw his friend get clipped by a driver in an SUV. Witnesses say Alonzo got out of the vehicle to stop the driver and that's when the driver ran over him.
The motive right now is unclear, but police say an argument between Alonzo's friend and the driver may have had something to do with it.
