Family Of 75-Year-Old Killed By Hit-And-Run Driver Grieving & Angry
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Police in Upper Manhattan are looking for a hit-and-run driver who killed an elderly man who was on his way to church early Sunday morning.
John and Henry Rosado along with their uncle, David, are grieving and angry over what a hit-and-run driver did to their father, 75-year-old Luis Rosado.
"I don't know how anyone could do that. How do you leave some there like they're trash and keep on going? Don't they have any conscience?" asked John Rosado.
Luis Rosado was walking to 8 a.m. Mass Sunday morning, when he was struck a block from his home. As he was crossing Broadway at 138th Street, he was stuck by a vehicle, which witnesses said was a black car.
It was possibly a livery car that momentarily stopped a block away, CBS 2's John Slattery reported.
"He stopped at 137, paused a second, then took off a block later. He knows what he did," the victim's son, Henry, said.
At a bodega on the corner, a surveillance camera was not working. At the same intersection, police were stopping cars on routine checks, but hoping to get a lead on the driver who killed a beloved great-grandfather.
"He was a good father, 45 years as a baker. He was retired 13 years," said Henry Rosado.
With little to go on, police are hoping for a little luck, and maybe a call from someone who knows the driver.
