Candice BondBo Anderson was killed in a pedestrian crash while walking in his Shelby neighborhood on October 29, according to Shelby Police.
How the Shelby Pedestrian Crash Unfolded
Shelby Police said the driver who struck Anderson did not stop. Police said a different motorist saw him in the road and called for help. Anderson had phoned his wife on Thursday night to say he was heading home from a walk around the neighborhood. About 30 minutes later she grew worried and went looking for him, and she found first responders working to save him near the entrance to the neighborhood. Anderson was the father of two children with special needs, and his stepdaughter said he liked to take walks in the community.
Where the Shelby Police Search Stands
Police returned to the neighborhood on Monday and went door to door to ask whether anyone has security camera video that could help locate the driver. Neighbors said they did not hear a crash that night, and many have their cameras aimed away from the street. Anderson's family hopes the driver, or someone who knows the driver, will come forward.
In a hit-and-run, the first weeks are usually about finding the vehicle. Tips and home camera video from neighbors often matter most.
