Overview
- Darian Gomez, 18, was killed when a speeding red 2015 Ford Explorer ran a red light at 63rd Street and Kedzie Avenue early Sunday around 1:20 a.m., then crashed into a southbound silver car.
- Surveillance video released by local outlets shows the SUV stopping, the driver getting out, glancing toward the wreckage, and then jogging away from the scene.
- Chicago police say the Major Accidents Investigation Unit is seeking tips and has not made an arrest, and the SUV passenger, a 22-year-old woman, remains in critical condition.
- Gomez was returning from a DoorDash delivery, his mother said, and a GoFundMe started by his aunt has raised more than $22,000 to help the family with funeral costs.
- Dozens gathered Wednesday night for a vigil and memorial ride at the intersection, where cycling groups pressed for safer street design and stronger enforcement to protect people on bikes.
