MIAMI – Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who struck a mother of seven and her boyfriend early Tuesday in Miami.
Neighbors called 911 after the driver of a 2019 Infiniti Q60 struck Shameka Cone and Jay Cephus at the intersection of Northwest Second Avenue and Northwest 64th Street.
Relatives said the 30-year-old woman and her boyfriend were on their way home from a neighborhood store.
"How are you just going to hit somebody and not know that you hit them? And if you did, you're still cold-hearted about it," Cone's mother, Tara Butts, said. "Turn yourself in. I don't wish that on nobody."
Butts said Cone remained in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Detectives are searching for the hit-and-run driver. They are asking anyone with information to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
