Latest fatal hit-and-run in San Francisco a sign of concerning trend in elderly pedestrian deaths Latest fatal hit-and-run in San Francisco a sign of concerning trend in elderly pedestrian deaths Latest fatal hit-and-run in San Francisco a sign of concerning trend in elderly pedestrian deaths A pedestrian died after being hit by a vehicle in San Francisco's Richmond District early Monday morning, according to police. The collision was reported at about 12:05 a.m. in the area of Geary Boulevard and Second Avenue. Officers arrived and found the pedestrian, who was taken to a hospital but died there, San Francisco police said. The driver who struck the pedestrian stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators, who do not believe impairment was a factor in the collision. The name of the person who died was not immediately available, but the pedestrian advocacy group Walk San Francisco said the victim was 67 years old. The case was the eighth pedestrian death in San Francisco this year, according to the group, which is calling on the city to take additional measures to address traffic safety. Walk SF says Geary Boulevard is on the city's "high-injury network" of about 12% of San Francisco streets where about 68% of its traffic collisions occur. "Geary Boulevard is deadly by design," Walk SF spokesperson Marta Lindsey said in a statement. "It's incredibly wide, with six travel lanes. With such a long distance to cross, pedestrians are extremely vulnerable. The wider a street is, the faster drivers go, making the stakes very high if a crash occurs."

Chester family receives 'disrespectful' anonymous packages after 8-year-old son paralyzed from hit-and-run
The Brief 8-year-old Ny'Leek Ellison is paralyzed from the neck down after a hit-and-run in February. The suspected driver was later arrested and charged. Packages with traffic safety materials inside, addressed to the victim, were recently sent to his home, prompting concern. MEDIA, Pa. - A family is seeking answers after they were sent anonymous packages with traffic safety materials inside addressed to their 8-year-old son, who is paralyzed due to a hit-and-run that occurred in Chester back in February. What we know 8-year-old Ny'Leek Ellison is now paralyzed after a hit-and-run that occurred in February near 9th and Tilghman Streets in Chester. It happened after getting off of a SEPTA bus with his brother Ny'Dir, coming home from school. Police later arrested the driver, who has been charged. Last weekend, anonymous packages arrived at the family's home with pedestrian traffic safety materials inside. The packages were addressed to the 8-year-old victim. The family wants to know who sent the packages and why? What they're saying "Disrespectful. This is disrespectful," said Anita Carrington. She is upset and angry over what came inside packages she says were delivered to her home in Chester last weekend. "Why would y'all send this to my house to my son?" she said. The packages were addressed to her 8-year-old son Ny'Leek, but with no sender information. They included a book called The Little Pedestrian's Guide to Traffic Rules, a traffic safety coloring book and a stop-and-go traffic paddle. "I felt as though somebody was trying to make a mockery of my son," said Anita. She and her son's father, Micah Ellison, have serious concerns about the sender's intention as it relates to their son. "He's 8-years-old and he's paralyzed from the neck down, so he's basically defenseless. So why direct this anger toward an innocent child?" he said. They want to know why someone would send something like this to a victim? "If it was something good they would have left their name or they would have sent a card, but there wasn't none of that. It was somebody being smart or should I say somebody being ignorant or dumb," said Micah. Anita says she filed a report with Chester Police. "I took it to the higher authorities so that somebody can address this situation," she said. Meanwhile, Ny'Leek is at Shriners Children's Hospital after he was transferred from CHOP. "His spirits are up. His smile keeps my day bright even when it rains," said his father. "He can eat and he talk through the grace of God. He's on a ventilator, they say, for the rest of his life," said his mother. They say the messages in the books are good but not encouraging for their son whose life will never be the same. "It's unacceptable. It's unacceptable," said his father Micah. What you can do A GoFundMe was created to help aid in Ny'Leek's long road to recovery. What's next Caleb Campbell, the suspected driver, was later arrested and charged. He was scheduled for a court date Wednesday morning.

ICE identifies jet ski suspects in Air Force cadet candidate's death as illegal immigrants
The suspect and her alleged accomplice linked to the jet ski hit-and-run death of an Air Force cadet candidate over Memorial Day weekend have been identified as illegal immigrants, according to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official. During a Wednesday news conference in Grapevine, Texas, Joshua Johnson, acting field director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Emergency Removal Operations in Dallas, confirmed that 21-year-old Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez and 21-year-old Maikel Coello Perozo are both illegal immigrants from Venezuela. Gonzalez was allegedly operating the jet ski that struck and killed 18-year-old Ava Moore on Sunday at Grapevine Lake. Moore was a United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) cadet candidate and part of USAFA's Class of 2029, according to the military school. "It's my understanding that both the individuals crossed the southern border in 2023 or 2024," Johnson said. "They were arrested at the time of entry, processed on a notice to appear, and then released on their own recognizance." He added that ICE has lodged immigration detainers against the suspects, and that after the criminal justice proceedings against them in Texas are complete, they will be processed for removal. Capt. Joseph Quintero, game warden at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, announced that Gonzalez has been charged with second-degree felony manslaughter. Perozo has been charged with collision involving damage to a vehicle and hindering apprehension, both misdemeanors, after allegedly driving away from the scene with Gonzalez. He said both were arrested in Dallas on Tuesday, and that the relationship between them remains unclear. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton first announced that the pair were in the country illegally on Tuesday night. "We've arrested an illegal alien for killing Ava Moore and another illegal alien connected to her death," Paxton wrote in a Tuesday post on X. "Ava Moore's senseless death was caused by an illegal alien who should have never been in our country in the first place," Paxton wrote in a news release. "My heart breaks for Ava's family and friends, and my prayers are with them as they face this tragedy," Paxton continued. ICE did not respond to a request for comment. "We are thankful for the help of fellow law enforcement officers from the Texas Attorney General's Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Dallas Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations," the Texas Game Wardens said in a statement. Paxton added that his office "will continue to work with local, state, and national law enforcement partners to secure justice for Ava." According to FOX 4, Moore was just weeks away from her lifelong dream of joining the military. She was scheduled to leave for Air Force basic training and was home in Texas visiting family during Memorial Day weekend. Moore was reportedly a student and star basketball player at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado. "You know, we talked throughout the course of the year that at some point in her career she was going to be a four-star general because she loved it," her coach, Ke'sha Blanton, told the outlet. "She made those around her better." Blanton said she is feeling sadness and anger over Moore's death. "They took a bright, bright star from our lives," she said. Investigators said two women were on a jet ski that struck Moore on Sunday evening. According to police, a passenger on the jet ski remained on the scene, while the operator of the craft allegedly fled and then left with a male. The pair allegedly crashed into a vehicle during their escape from the scene. Moore was pulled to shore and treated for severe head trauma before being taken to a nearby hospital where she later died, the outlet reported. "Our thoughts are with Ava's family and friends during this difficult time. Texas Game Wardens remain committed to keeping our public waters safe," the Grapevine Police Department shared in a statement. Stepheny Price is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
