MIRAMAR, Fla. — Miramar Police Chief Delrish Moss believes somebody out there knows something about a hit-and-run crash that occurred two years ago, and he’s urging them to come forward.
“This case has been haunting us since the year I got here,” he said.
It was on April 6, 2024, when 26-year-old Onyxia Delinos was out jogging ahead of her running group, near Miramar Parkway and Southwest 184th Avenue, when she was suddenly struck by a car whose driver fled from the scene.
Delinos was left with a critical head injury, forever changing her life. She would require around-the-clock care in the time since, but last week, she passed away.
“What we still haven’t gotten is that magic phone call, that magic phone call that’s gonna help us,” said Moss.
Miramar police say they are actively investigating the case and are pursuing several leads, but what has made it a challenge is there were no eyewitnesses and no surveillance cameras in the area.
Police said they also haven’t found any vehicle with damage from the hit-and-run.
“Right now, it’s hard to say how close we are, because again, we don’t have that magic phone call,” said Moss. “I think when we’ve got it, that’s when we’ll be able to say, ‘Yeah, this is definitively it.’ Because we’ve had leads in the past.”
Delinos’ husband, Roosevelt, is devastated.
In a text to Local 10 News, he wrote, “I don’t have the words to describe what I feel. I lost my wife twice and the person is still out there.”
Authorities are offering a $15,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
“If you’ve got information, please, make that phone call,” Moss said.
