FAIRFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — Troopers with the South Carolina Highway Patrol are looking for the driver in a deadly hit and run that happened early Sunday morning in Fairfield County.
Troopers say the vehicle ran off the road hitting a person who was walking on the sidewalk.
Neighbors and family members told News 19 Monday that the person who was killed is 32-year-old Bruce Antonio Gibbs.
Felicia Gibbs-Johnson, the victim's mother, she says he was a good man who loved her and his children.
“That’s the love of my life, that’s my first heartbeat,” Gibbs-Johnson says. “He’s a good man, he’s not a gang-banger, and he has a two-month-old baby who’s not even going to know his daddy.”
Gibbs-Johnson hopes she’ll get justice for her son soon.
“The pain I feel right now nobody can take that away from me. I had that baby when I was young. I want justice for my son, and I’m not going to rest and he’s not going to rest until he gets justice,” Gibbs-Johnson said.
