A Guyanese woman in Brooklyn was killed crossing an intersection in a hit-and-run accident last Friday night, according to the New York Post.
Gillian Persaud Hall, 56, was crossing Flatlands and Utica Avenue around 9:05 p.m. when she was hit by a car heading east. Hall was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, where she died.
And authorities in Brooklyn, New York, are searching for the driver who ran over a 56-year-old woman and left her to die on the street.
Police Saturday were reviewing video from a closed-circuit camera at a Getty Gas Station at the intersection in hopes of tracing the car.
“This is the most heartless thing to have done to a woman who had such a full, giving heart; to take her away from people that love her,” said Hall’s daughter Neah Persaud, 28, an event planner for a bank. “Please find it in your heart to come forward.”
