Tik Tok star and hospital worker Leonardo Gil Fraga was killed this week in a South Florida hit-and-run and his “destroyed” family as well as authorities are pleading for help.
Hialeah Police say the helpful and gregarious endoscopy technician, 34, who boasted over 150,000 Tik Tok followers, was struck by a dark-colored SUV or van shortly before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after finishing up work at Hialeah Hospital, about 10 miles northwest of Miami, CBSMiami reports.
“You can see in the video after the accident happens that the driver pulls over, it looks like they’re about to get out and help but unfortunately that vehicle fled the scene, leaving Gil on the floor,” Lt. Eddie Rodriguez told the outlet.
Fraga, who died on his grandmother’s birthday and is survived by an 8-year-old son, became popular on social media through videos about his life and work, which coworker Barbara Mata said was to make “other people’s day brighter,” according to the outlet.
Fraga was riding his motorcycle at the time of the accident, according to WPLG Local 10.
Police are asking anyone with information to reach out and that those working in auto body keep an eye out.
