His son says they were planning a family trip to Vegas to celebrate. Now, they’re focused on trying to identify and find the driver that struck and killed him.
"Every day. I mean that was his form of exercise. That’s what he did. He walked around the neighborhood," he said. "Everybody around here knows him. Everybody knows him."Fort Worth police say around 9:50 p.m., Juan was crossing the street at the intersection of Vaughn Blvd and Avenue H when a driver in a black SUV struck him and sped off. His grandson rushed over to try to help.
Andres says after battling recent health issues, the elder Garcia had been waiting to take his walks at night to beat the heat and used a walker to get around. Fort Worth police released new video on Wednesday showing an SUV speeding through a nearby intersection moments after hitting Juan. They don't have a license plate number yet or even any specifics on the make or model of the vehicle.
