BATON ROUGE - A crash that happened Wednesday afternoon just outside Baton Rouge Police Headquarters may have been a suicide, police said Thursday. 

BRPD said the crash happened around 1:45 p.m. at the intersection of Goodwood Boulevard and Airline Highway. A truck was passing through the intersection with a green light when it hit a pedestrian in the right lane. 

The pedestrian, who died from his injuries at the hospital, was identified as 20-year-old Julius Torres. 

Camera footage and multiple witness statements suggest Torres intentionally ran in front of the truck, police said.
