"I picked him up, bled out his ears, his nose. I'm gonna bury him all in white because he's an angel. Find him! I want justice for my child. I want justice for my child."
"Police said Padilla was struck Thursday morning on Linden Boulevard and Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville, right outside Brookdale University Hospital. Wright said they were just leaving the hospital after picking up medical paperwork required by her son's school, when he broke free from her and ran into the street, where the white SUV hit him."
"NYPD is still trying to find the driver. Police said the white SUV was seen traveling northbound on Rockaway Parkway after the collision. Detectives said they have some security video of the vehicle, but they have not made it public."
A New York City mother witnessed her 4-year-old son, Zacharia Padilla, struck by a white SUV on Thursday morning outside Brookdale University Hospital in Brownsville. The child broke free from his mother and ran into the street where the vehicle hit him with such force that he was thrown into the air. The mother carried her bleeding son back into the hospital, where medical teams attempted resuscitation but could not save him. The driver fled the scene, traveling northbound on Rockaway Parkway. Police have security video footage of the vehicle and are actively investigating. The mother, who recently lost another son to gun violence, is calling for justice and urging the public to help identify the driver.
