'My brother did not deserve that': Family wants answers after 3 men killed in South Shore hit and run
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A family is devastated after three men were killed in a deadly hit and run crash this weekend.
Twenty-five-year-old Donald Huey is one of the three men who lost their lives after a car bolted through the group of men. CBS 2's Shardaa Gray spoke with Huey's sister.
The family is simply trying to make sense of what happened this weekend. His sister said they grew up in the south suburbs and were very close, but now her world has been turned upside down.
"My brother did not deserve that. He didn't," she said.
A close bond between a brother and sister.
"He was like my child. He was the only person that I had left," she said.
Huey was taken away from his sister in a matter of seconds. She doesn't want her name or face to be shown for fear of retaliation after her brother, Donald Huey, was one of four men who were hit by a car, three of whom died. She said her brother was holding a phone, right outside of Jeffery Pub.
"Donald was very responsible, respectful, reliable. He would give you the shirt off his back," she said.
Chicago police say Sunday morning, a sedan was traveling south near 70th and Jeffery, when the driver plowed into four adult men, including Huey.
Detectives say a fight started inside the bar and spilled into the street moments before the impact. The car used in the attack was recovered just blocks from the scene, but so far there have been no arrests.
"It's been hard. I can't even explain. I can't even imagine. It's been hard," Huey's sister said.
She said they grew up in South Holland, but he recently moved to California, and came back to visit for the weekend.
"It's my grandmother's birthday tomorrow. The 16th. We were going to do a celebration for her," she said.
She said her family is torn apart and she hasn't gotten much sleep, but they want to know who killed her brother.
"Answers and justice. My brother did not deserve that. He didn't," she said.
Family members tell us 23-year-old Jaylen Ausley was also killed in the hit and run crash. A cousin said he just graduated from the University of Michigan, with dreams of going to an Ivy League grad school. He also was a mentor at Gary Comer Youth Center.
"He was on the straight and narrow. He didn't have any issues. He didn't have any problems with anyone," said his cousin, Curtis Henderson.
Henderson also had a message for the driver responsible for the deadly hit-and-run.
"Everyone makes mistakes in life. We're no one to judge, but we're asking you to look at things from our shoes," he said.
Both families are torn apart and restless, but are hopeful the Chicago Police Department will figure out who killed their loved ones.
Huey's sister said they haven't gotten any updates from police. CBS 2 reached out to police as well to see if they've caught the driver, or if they believe the driver deliberately drove through the crowd, but authorities said there are no updates.
