The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is appealing for the public’s help after a 63-year-old bicyclist was struck and killed last Monday night by a hit-and-run driver.
New surveillance video obtained by CBS News Miami shows haunting images as the victim, Gregory Hughes, is seen just moments before the crash riding his bicycle at a Mobil gas station.
Abid Molla, an employee of the station on N.W. 103rd St. at 12th Ave., said his cameras captured Hughes riding his bicycle out on N.W. 103rd St., where investigators said a gray sedan struck and killed him before driving away.
Molla said Hughes used to frequent his store and had also been there earlier in the day.
“I am very upset. He had just left the store as you can see on the video. I am so upset,” Molla told CBS News Miami.
An MDSO investigator told CBS News Miami that the suspect’s car has a broken windshield.
A flyer released by the Sheriff’s Office said investigators have been unable to find Hughes’ next of kin. They do not have a description of the driver to release, but they said the car could have front-end damage.
The traffic homicide unit is investigating and looking for leads.
Anyone with information that can help should call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477) or the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office traffic homicide unit at (305) 471-2400 and ask for Detective M. Quinones.
There is a reward of up to $5,000.
