That is terrible. Horrible for the victim’s family.
They need too catch this yoyo and put him away for negligent homicide and hit and run. Good luck GPD.
I’m sick of bad drivers and hope the asshole is caught, convicted and put in prison to be tortured by other bad drivers.
This goes way beyond “bad driver”.
Double 33 sacrifice
People running through red lights and speeding in parking lots are a danger to everyone.
Condolences to the family but I can’t help but wonder if the city is going to require Butler Enterprises to put speed bumps in all the parking lots now.
Should’ve been thought to look both ways!!! And always look for cars!🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
What was the Person name that got hit
Officials don’t release that information any more because of Marsy’s Law.
