    Come on people…if this was your family member you would be looking and doing everything possible to put this criminal under the jailhouse. People help the law enforcement out..everybody talks about it but you have got to do something. All it takes is if your neighbors or somebody that might have a red dodge truck look at it and see if there is damage. And call crimestoppers. That is what we have got to do we have to speak up no matter who it is. NO ONE DESERVES THIS!!! BUT ITS NOT GONNA GET BETTER UNTIL PEOPLE START TALKING AND HELP THE COMMUNITY!!! This stupid saying snitches get stitches. PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT!! Cause if they in jail that is what matters if they stay on the street then you might be in the ditches. Just please step up and do what you would do if it was your family member!! My heart and prayers go out to this family!!! Please get this scum off the streets!!

    If you were drunk it’s possible you never knew you hit anyone. There is someone out there that knows who did this as you could not hide that vehicle. The person who committed this crime needs to come forward. He would be charged with leaving the scene of accident involving death better than DUI with death.

    So sad that someone could be so heartless
    as to run someone over, and just leave
    them there! Praying for this persons family.
    Hopefully this person of the hit and run is caught
    or else, may they feel guilty and turn themselves
    in.
