Seventy-one-year-old Marshall Hill was crossing 43rd and Silver Spring when family members say he was hit by a driver who was speeding.

“They run that light all the time, speed through that light,” said DeAndrae Dent, a family member of Hill.

Security video from nearby shows Hill crossing the street around 9 p.m. Monday before he’s hit by a driver.

“Someone that didn’t care about anyone on the street recklessly killed him,” said Shirley Callender, Hill’s sister.

The driver then sped off.

“He didn’t care about nobody else’s life,” said Dent. “I feel he was a coward, because he didn’t even have the decency to even stop and see if he was okay, or stop and get help for him. Maybe he could’ve saved him.”

Family members say Hill was a loving person who enjoyed nothing more than a home-cooked meal.

“That’s one thing I’m gonna miss. Him calling me and saying, “could you bring me something?” He was a sweetheart. I’m gonna miss him a lot,” said Callender.

Police records show a 33-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night in connection to the hit-and-run. We are not naming him because charges have not yet been filed.

“He left a void in our life, and it’s really, really bad he made this decision, because it adds to the reckless driving,” said Callender.

Hill’s family says they just have a simple message for the driver.

“You owe my family an apology because you took a loved one away from us,” said Dent.
