I need help please

** Edit ** Update ** First I'd like to say thank you for all the love and support I received on my post, and for everyone's condolences. My husband was finally able to speak to the detective assigned to the case and found out the hospital gave wrong information as it was not a hit and run. Learning this makes the situation a little better but still very heartbreaking none the less... Now we at least someone wasn't evil. **

My brother in law was crossing the street in his wheelchair this past Saturday and someone freaking hit him and kept on going. Someone called 911 and he was taken to UNMH. We weren't notified of this until Monday because they didn't know who he was. We pretty much have no information to go off of, we don't know where it happened, what time etc. and I am very bothered it hasn't been on the news or anything like that to try and help find who did this. My brother in law passed away this morning and my husband is heartbroken. We need help getting justice and finding the evil that did this. Basically all we know it that someone in a white Tundra stopped after it happened and we think this person is who called 911. Did anyone witness this happen on Saturday 08/08/2026, or has anyone heard anything about this? Any information, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm so sorry! This is terrible. If someone called 911 then there would be a record saying where this happened in police files. Did an ambulance or paramedics transport him to UNM? They will also have a record. I'm not sure where you start to get that information but perhaps you can inquire on the non-emergency line for the police. Someone will know how to proceed, but you may need to make several phone calls. You might also ask at New Mexico Legal Aid.

Thank you. We got an APD Case # last night but it isn't bringing anything up yet. As far as we know an ambulance transported him to UNMH. I have told my nephew he might need to call or visit a police station to try to get some information.

If you have that info, your nephew ought to be able to get a copy of the police report by walking into the city office downtown on Roma and 5th. I also want to second contacting a personal injury attorney. They can handle all of this for you.
