Victim dies from injuries nearly nine months after Kansas City hit-and-run

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For nearly nine months, John Florez has gone almost every day to see his friend in the hospital. She was involved in a hit-and-run and he says police haven’t found the person responsible.

On December 27, 2023, Kansas City police reported a hit and run at E. 27th Street and Wabash Avenue.

John Florez says that the person hit is his friend, Eslean Langford.

“It hurts me to see her this way because she’s a very good person,” Florez said. “She had got her femur broke, her pelvis is broke, she had two blood bleeds and she just ain’t ever recovered from it.”

The report from KCPD says that a black sedan was involved in the hit-and-run and was last seen going west on 27th Street.

Since then, Florez says they have not had many more answers.

“It just hurts that I’m trying to find out what happened to get her some help, cause she ain’t got nothing,” Florez said. “They sent paperwork out to all her family members that she’s supposed to know, none of them answered.”
