Ibraheem Hull, a 19-year-old resident of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, lost his life on Friday, May 23, after being hit by a moving train near West Main Street and Overall Street. Murfreesboro Police confirmed his identity following the fatal incident.

Authorities say emergency personnel arrived on scene shortly after 1:30 p.m., where Hull was pronounced dead by Rutherford County EMS.
