MIAMI (WSVN) - A family is making a painful plea to track down the gunman who took their loved one’s life in Miami.
Family members of 31-year-old Anthony Hill met at the Miami Police Department Headquarters on Tuesday, desperate to find the person responsible for gunning him down while he rode his bike in Overtown.
“I want justice for my son. He took a part of me away from me. He didn’t bother nobody. Just come forward, so I could be able to rest,” Hill’s mother Phyllis said as she cried. “For my grandson, too. You took his daddy away.”
“A loved one dead, murdered in the street,” Hill’s sister Malessa Meza said, “with no answers, no understanding why this happened.”
On Aug. 3, Police said Hill was headed to work near Northwest 13th Street and Second Avenue when a black Nissan Altima pulled up and started shooting, hitting Hill multiple times. He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
“He just enjoyed life,” Hill’s other sister Shakita said. “He was happy, outgoing, and he just loved life.”
Miami Police have not made any arrests. They’re hoping, along with Hill’s family, someone will do the right thing and come forward.
“Please, we need closure. We need it,” another sister Michelle Cure said. “It’s not right. It’s not right.”
“If they want to remain anonymous, go through Crime Stoppers,” Miami Police Detective Amado Ventura said. “There’s a lot that we can work with when that happens. The important part is to please get that information to us. Without it, we’re not doing much with it.”
Detectives said they know there must be someone out there who saw something that day that could help them.
If you saw something that can help investigators and have any information regarding the shooting, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $3,000 reward.
