An 11-year-old boy who was struck by a vehicle while jogging in an unincorporated area near El Cajon earlier this month has been taken off life support. Kevin Ouda, a martial arts student at local gym Pure Heart Muay Thai, was running with teammates on the morning of Dec. 21 when he was hit by a vehicle on North First Street. The boy’s coach told news outlets that during the run, a dog lunged at the group of boys and Kevin jumped into the street to avoid it, where he was struck. He was taken to Rady Children’s Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery and was placed on life support. According to a social media post from Pure Heart Muay Thai, “Kevin’s family made the decision to let Kevin be at peace in heaven with God today.” He died at about 2:14 p.m. Sunday, according to the post. “Kevin, we love you and God loves you,” Sunday’s post from the gym reads. “May God rest your beautiful soul. Please pray for Kevin’s family during this unimaginably difficult time.” This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.
