Hit-and-run victim’s family says chance at justice lost after suspect’s death in different crash

A man who was out on bond for allegedly hitting and killing a woman in northwest Harris County was killed in a crash over the weekend, according to officials.

Authorities identified the man as 33-year-old Joshua Ivie.

ABC13’s Alex Bozarjian broke the news about Ivie’s death to the sister of 44-year-old Carolee Dwyer.

Dwyer’s family said they were awaiting justice but never expected this.

“I mean, he could have at least looked and tried to help,” Angella Boucher, Dwyer’s older sister, said.

Boucher is speaking out for the first time since a driver hit and killed her sister in August.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said Ivie was driving

90 mph down West Cypress Forest Drive

when he hit Dwyer, pinning her up against a nearby home.

Boucher said she was walking back to where she was staying after grabbing some things from the store.

“When I saw and I heard that, I just couldn’t believe my little sister… I just talked to her, so it was so overwhelming. I stayed out of work for six weeks because I could not function,” Boucher said.
