I was wondering if there is any update on the Hemet resident Jennifer Travis who was killed by a hit and run driver on State street by the Crow’s nest bar she was run down in her wheel chair and was in critical condition but later died from her injuries the car was found abandoned and on fire somewhere on Esplanade street in Hemet.
I have asked several times, but have never gotten an update. One of his friends told me the suspect had possibly fled to Mexico or another state where he has family.
