Family desperately searches for hit-and-run driver who killed their 20-year-old son, 2 years after his death – WSB-TV Channel 2

Love would have celebrated his 22nd birthday on Friday, and his family told Jones the best gift of all would be if the driver turned himself in or if someone came forward with information that would lead police to the driver’s trail.

His mother, Quandolyn McFarland, said he just went to get a quick snack and never came back.

“He told them he was going to get them some snacks and then come back,” McFarland said. “But in reality he never came back.”

Someone in a red SUV hit him and kept driving. Then four more cars drove into him. McFarland said it still hurts for her.

“It’s been two years and you have no remorse. You have no regrets. You have no intention of turning yourself in,” Quandolyn McFarland said.

His father, Fidel McFarland, said that night still haunts him and he wonders what would have happened if the person in the SUV had stopped to help.

“I remember that night like it was yesterday,” said Fidel McFarland. “They could have saved our son’s life if they had just stopped.”

The police said they still had no leads.

The family is begging the driver to come forward.

“It would give me and my family peace,” said Fidel McFarland.

“He was so young and his life was ripped away from him,” said Quandolyn McFarland.

The McFarlands said this stretch of Highway 138 is dangerous and needs more traffic lights, traffic signals and sidewalks.
