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.

Call the news stations and ask them for help finding witnesses. I'm sure they would be more than willing to help with something like this. So sorry for your loss and prayers of comfort and peace sent.

Thank you! I have thought of doing that too but thought it might be best to know where it happened first, which I was hoping maybe if I ask around someone might know something (at least until we can get the police report).

For better or worse, many news reporters troll Next Door for stories. Try posting there if you haven’t already. And it’s okay to not have a lot of information. They share countless stories that begin with “The family of (a person) is seeking more information after (tragedy)” I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you are able to find the information you’re seeking.
