Hit-and-Run America, Vol. LXIII

An ongoing collection of unsolved hit-and-run cases, with a focus on car/pedestrian incidents, from across the country since Jan. ‘010. If you know something about any of these incidents, or one that I’ve missed, do the right thing and call the police, even anonymously.

387. East Bakersfield, Cal. May 8, Guadelupe “Lupe” Delgadillo, a 46-year-old woman in a wheelchair with one leg, was dragged 30-feet and killed by a small grey or silver car which police said “should stand out. ‘The vehicle sustained obviously moderate damage to the front end and may still have parts of the wheelchair embedded in it,’ Sgt. Melvin Johnson said.”

388. Grand Rapids, Mich. May 10. Man in his 40s found laying dead in the street. No description of the vehicle.

389. Milwaukee, Wisc. May 8. 11-year-old Trevor Gipson, a smart, funny, intelligent fourth grader, was killed by an SUV running a red light and throwing him 75 feet.
