CHICAGO (WLS) — Despite security video showing the driver getting out of the SUV and leaving it behind with an injured passenger inside, police still have made no arrests in a deadly Chicago Lawn crash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“So far, they haven’t told me anything,” said Claudia Torres, Gomez’s mother.<\/p>\n

Gomez’s family on Tuesday returned to 63rd and Kedzie, where the 18-year-old was killed in a hit-and-run while delivering food for DoorDash on a bicycle.<\/p>\n

“Ever since the accident, I don’t really come around here because it’s painful,” Torres said.<\/p>\n

Security video shows a red SUV crashing at the intersection after, police say, the driver ignored a traffic light in the early morning hours of April 5, hitting Gomez and another vehicle.<\/p>\n

The driver is then seen getting out of the SUV and walking away from the scene. A woman, police say, was left in that SUV with critical injuries.<\/p>\n

And still, no arrests have been made. Now, this intersection marks a family’s pain and relentless journey for answers and justice.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of evidence. And, like I said, I’m just waiting for them to tell me that they captured the person. I know it’s been so long, but I have faith that they’ll do something about it,” Torres said.<\/p>\n

ABC7 reached out to Chicago police, who said, at this time, there are still no updates in the case, and the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
