Authorities have publicly identified a homeless man who was fatally injured last month in a hit-and-run on a Rolando-area street.
Roger Calahan, 42, was struck by a vehicle while lying in the roadway in the 6300 block of El Cajon Boulevard shortly before 5 a.m. May 20, according to police and the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
