Metro police say there have been more than 5,000 hit-and-runs this year. As of September 23, the city is one deadly hit-and-run away from breaking the number of incidents for all of last year.
A memorial with a teddy bear saying love you, a basketball and a cross sits where 3-year-old Jyrie Mathews was killed in a hit and run, in July.
It was captured on camera and the driver, according to metro police is now cooperating in the investigation. "He was an amazing human being that definitely deserved to live longer than 34 years," Cordero said."He deserved to have a family. I deserved to have grandkids. He deserved more than being killed by a hit-and-run driver."
