Family of young woman killed pleads for hit-and-run driver to turn self in

CROWN HEIGHTS (WABC) -- A heartbroken family is pleading for a hit-and-run driver who killed their 22-year-old daughter to turn themselves in.

Sade Eversley was thrown from her motorcycle in a chain reaction crash in Brooklyn and was struck by another vehicle not once but twice.

One of the drivers stopped, but the other still on the loose.

"They took a really big part from us. It really hurts. I have to bury my best friend. Just turn yourself in," said Sade Chambers, the victim's friend.

Candles, balloons, and words of sympathy sit outside the Crown Heights home of Eversley. The 22-year-old was riding a motorcycle with friends Monday night when she and the driver of the motorcycle lost control and fell off. Eversley was hit by two minivans and the first driver didn't bother to stop.

"I just saw her off the bike and then the car run over. We all just stopped and were all in such shock we all ran off to try to see if she was all right, but it just wasn't good," Chambers said.

It happened around 10:30 p.m. on the Belt Parkway westbound near Cross Bay Boulevard in Queens.

Police say a driver of an older white minivan tried to swerve out of the way but wound up hitting Eversley as she lay on the ground.

A second minivan driver also tried to stop, but ran over her a second time.

That driver stayed at the scene.

Wednesday night, family members along with dear friends are begging the hit-and-run driver to come forward.

"My family is hurting right now, can you please return yourself?" said Rod Hassan, Jr., the victim's brother.

"Loving, full of life, always happy, she got along with everybody," said Sade Davenport, a friend.

"Just come forward, be an adult about this because we are hurting. Sade was a wonderful person. I loved my goddaughter dearly, her parents, loved her dearly," said Shelton Dempster, the victim's godfather.

The motorcycle driver suffered minor injuries, no one else was hurt.
