Police are seeking the driver who caused a horrific hit-and-run crash that killed a father of three in Redlands.

According to Miami-Dade Police, the car involved in the incident hit a structure on 232th Street and 194th Avenue before colliding with a guy on a scooter on 208th Street and 194th Avenue and taking off.

Family members identified the man on the scooter as 46-year-old Alexis Muñoz from Cuba.

The victim’s cousin, Yaicel Santana, stated that Muñoz and his wife worked for Costa Farms. On Monday morning, he rode his scooter with her and dropped her off at work.
