MILWAUKEE -- A fundraiser to help the family of a Milwaukee city worker, who was killed on the job, took place Thursday, April 25.
Bryan Rodriguez was filling potholes near 17th and Vine on Feb. 8, when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver. Rodriguez did not survive.
"Obviously this is something that we really want to be able to help support Brian's family. This is one good way of doing that," said Jeff Polenske, commissioner of public works.
