Hit And Run,San Diego

Police say Darren Stevenson was walking in a bike lane on Pershing Drive near Balboa Park with his friend, Tara Chaffee around 8 p.m. on April 3.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in this caseJanice Johnson says she’s haunted by the memory of sitting by her brother's side at Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest, hoping he'd recover.

The two were headed to dinner when police say a car headed south, drifted into the bike lane and slammed into the 54-year-old, then took off south on Pershing Drive.Police said evidence suggests the car that hit Stevenson is a black, older model Toyota Camry.“If this person had any kind of conscience, they would come forward, you know, deal with the consequences. You took someone from us who we loved and it's not fair," Chaffee said.

As police and family try to find the driver, his family is wondering even if the suspect is caught, will there truly ever be justice?
