Galvan said his older brother, who is 18, and Luis, who is 16, went to a concert together on Thursday.He said Luis thought the concert was too loud and left. His family ended up searching for him for hours. “How can he sleep at night?” said Galvan, a message to the driver. “How do you go to sleep after that? You hit someone, and you left.”

Police said they've found the suspect's car and have identified a person of interest but have not yet announced any arrests.Galvan said his family wants justice for Luis, who is left only with the items that remind them of their loved one—dinosaurs, running bibs, and organic food—in his room. Galvan said his cousin was a quiet teen who loved to build Legos, cook for his family, and hang out with his cousins.Luis Luna , Leo Galvan , and Galvan's older brother "Anytime, honestly, it could be night. It could be morning, it could be anytime, he would just come randomly. Yeah, I guess that won’t happen anymore," Galvan said.
