classroom today. the teen s family says it is grateful to the witnesses who have come forward and provided police with a description of the vehicle involved. that is a dull red or maroon semi-tractor. reporter: students paused for a moment of silence. they will miss seeing choice taylor s smile and hears his laughter fill the hall ways. his mission was to walk around and make everybody else happy. so when we think about him, we do smile and remember him that way. the 17-year-old honor student was president of the chess club, member of the an may club and bass fishing team. he was walking home from the jewel store where he worked at 6:20 friday night when he was hit. taylor was found lying on west bound algonquin road near south third avenue. he was pronounced dead minutes later. given the leads the police have, i think it s just a matter of time that they find this person. so i would rather i wish the person would just step forward. volunteers this past weekend post
