SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Loved ones making an emotional appeal for answers, after a 53-year-old man was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver, just off the I-805 in Serra Mesa.
In video shot by ABC 10News Breaking News Tracker Paul Andregg from two weeks ago, car parts are spread across an on-ramp, past 9 p.m.
At a Linda Vista home that night, a family’s collective heart was shattered.
“You feel incomplete. All of a sudden, there’s a part of you that’s missing,” said Abieselom Ghebru.
Abieselom remembers being frozen by news of the death of brother, Jonathan Ghebru.
According to the CHP, Ghebru’s body was found in the lanes of the Kearny Villa Road on-ramp to I-805 North. They say the driver who struck him took off.
“It was a shock. Stunned. Frozen in the moment,” said Abieselom.
Abieselom says his brother, along with the rest of the family, originally from East Africa, immigrated to San Diego in 1985.
His brother had a talent for fixing electronics. He was social, with a big heart.
