A Ridgewood resident was struck and killed by a car at a Cypress Avenue intersection last month in a case that has resulted in no arrests so far.

Jorge Segundo, 52, was walking through the crosswalk at Grove Street and Cypress Avenue in Ridgewood on Nov. 26 when he was struck by a 2006 Honda CRV at around 7:15 p.m.

The 22-year-old driver, according to police, was heading west on Cypress Avenue when he turned left onto Grove Street and struck the victim.

EMS responded to the scene and provided emergency care to Segundo, who was unconscious and with trauma to the head, police said.

Segundo was then rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where he died just days later on Nov. 29.

The 22-year-old driver remained at the scene of the crash, and was issued a summons for failure to yield to a pedestrian, but was not arrested.

The NYPD said it is continuing to investigate the incident.

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
