    This has caused my extended family much grief. This young man has alot of family that loved him dearly. If your the person that hit him, even if accidently, you need to man-up. You will be found, sooner or later. It’s in the best interest for you (& your family)…….. if you come forward. The truth will set you free. RIP Bumper….(Rodney Cropper).

    I’m so sad to hear this and I hope this person’s identity can be found so the family can be notified. I live just off Willard Norris and was wondering where exactly this happened.
