Commentary on Atanafu Gemeda Hit-and-run Accident in Houston
It's just infuriating to see someone leave the scene while someone is left behind to die. Obviously, finding that person and bringing them to answer for their actions needs to be a priority. Were they drunk? Did they have drugs or warrants? Getting answers means finding the driver, and the best chance of that happening is keeping these details in the public as much as possible.

Oftentimes, someone in the community is able to connect the dots and come forward with a name. Whether it's a neighbor, co-worker, friend, or even a family member, someone is bound to do the right thing so this person's loved ones can get some much needed closure. Hopefully this helps to shed light on this tragedy to continue the search for those responsible for a family's unimaginable hardship.
