DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Police are searching for the street racers who hit and killed a woman walking home from her job on the shoulder of I-20 in DeKalb County.
Shaneta Reeves, 32, was walking home from her catering side job around 1:40 a.m. on Aug. 4 when she was hit by a hit-and-run driver. Several other cars hit her after the initial accident.
Reeves’ mother, sister and 11-year-old daughter Tuesday are devastated over her sudden death.
“I’m hurt. I’m numb,” her mother, Della Reeves, said. “I feel like it’s a dream and it’s not real.”
Her sister, Dajiona Reeves, said she is struggling to be there for her mother, her niece and her own daughter.
“Every time I think about it, I get anxiety. I can’t breathe,” she said. “It’s like they took my other half. I don’t have a sister anymore.”
Shaneta graduated from Georgia Southern and had been pursuing a career in acting and modeling.
Police are now trying to identify the driver of a black Mustang that hit the young woman and didn’t stop.
