EARLIER STORY: West Palm Beach police are searching for the driver in a deadly hit and run that killed a 29-year-old father of two.
According to police, Nelson Luis Roman Rodriguez was struck by a vehicle while crossing the 7500 block of S. Dixie Hwy. on Tuesday night. The car then sped away.
"I heard this huge, empty impact," said Danairis Ramos, Rodriguez's wife. "Then I ran to the street and I saw him. It was horrible for me, seeing the person I love dying."
Investigators describe the vehicle that hit Rodriguez as a dark gray, metallic Chevy Camaro from between the 2010 - 2015 model years.

"He was a good person," said Ramos. "Right now we're suffering a lot, and we need the help of the community."
Rodriguez leaves behind a wife and two children, including a newborn baby.
"We just want justice for him, cause it's not fair stealing someone's life that that," said Ramos. "It was a coward, running, leaving something dying. Leaving some kids without his father."
