PHOENIX — Phoenix police are looking for information after a hit-and-run crash left a man dead on Friday, January 2, near Cave Creek and Greenway roads.
The crash happened around 10 p.m. and involved a pedestrian, police say.
Detectives believe a northbound vehicle struck a pedestrian in the roadway and continued driving. Officials did not provide a description of the vehicle that was involved.
The pedestrian died from his injuries at a hospital.
On Monday, March 3, ABC15 spoke with the victim's daughter.
Julianna Maloney lives in Washington state, but says her father, Anthony Maloney, was the man hit and killed.
“He was a wonderful man. He loved music, and he was a very good artist,” Anthony’s daughter Julianna Maloney told ABC15. “[The driver] took a very wonderful man away from his family, and I hope that they do come forward, it just gives the family a sense of peace.”
Police still haven’t identified a car involved in the crash or released any additional information. Maloney's family is worried the case has gone cold.
“It is very frustrating,” Julianna said. “They don't have any cameras on that road or anything.”
She said Anthony was a father of five and she acknowledged he had struggled with addiction but had been on the right path until the tragedy. She’s hoping someone
“It's just a lot of what ifs going through my head. Like, what if they stopped and, like, tried to help him, would he still be here?
Anyone with information is asked to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish. Police say rewards will be paid for information leading to an arrest in this case.
