Hi DI family, I need to ask for some help. This is really important to me.
At approximately 7:30am on Saturday May 18, 2024 my husband (I say husband but, technically we were engaged for 13 years) was killed in a double hit and run motorcycle accident in Lincoln Heights near downtown Los Angeles while on his way to work. A white F150 ran a red light on the corner of Broadway and Ave 20 as Manny was driving through the intersection. It knocked him off his bike and into traffic where a delivery truck ran him over. Both vehicles fled the scene. The police have since found the driver of the delivery truck, but the driver of the F150 is still outstanding.
Manny was only 49 and would have been 50 on June 1[sup]st[/sup]. We had been planning to take a cruise to celebrate the big five-O and instead I found myself planning his funeral. He was a good man and a pillar in the community. As a licensed MFT with an MA in psychology from Pepperdine University, he helped so many people and touched so many lives for the better throughout his life and career. He was also an avid Harley Davidson rider. He didn’t deserve this.
At this point, it feels like the investigation is losing steam. We need to put pressure on the city of LA to do everything they can to find this person and bring them to justice. I feel the best way to do that is to rally a large community of voices to bring attention to this crime and keep it in the public eye. THERE IS POWER IN NUMBERS – especially when those numbers use their combined voices and demand to be heard!
To that end, I've been working literally around the clock to create a network of social media pages and a website dedicated to being #MannysVoiceForJustice
I'm hoping you will do me a favor and add your voice to help amplify our message. It doesn't matter if you knew Manny. It doesn't matter if you don't live in Los Angeles. This is about numbers and showing the PTB that this crime will not be swept under the rug and forgotten. If you can spare a moment, please go to the link below. There you'll find link to all our social media pages. We currently have pages on FB, Instagram and Twitter/X. I'll be sharing updates and messages on all of them regularly. Please follow those pages and like, share and tag all of their posts. Encourage others to do that same.
Also, if any of you are part of the internet sleuth community and have any recommendations for finding the truck in question, I am open to suggestions. The website I’ve linked to has information about the accident, photos of the F150, news reports and some beautiful tributes from Manny's clients and loved ones.
