DETROIT – Detroit Police are shedding some light on why a family was never contacted when a man was killed during a hit-and run incident in December.
“All they had to do was come here and notify us. We know Christmas Eve may not have been a good time, but it would have been better than to wait eight days,” said Patricia Rutland.
Rutland’s son, Dion Emory, was killed in a hit-and run on Christmas Eve at the intersection of Schoolcraft and Greenfield roads. Her family had to put the pieces together on their own.
He was pronounced dead on the scene.
A preliminary investigation has determined that the man s injuries were consistent with having been struck by a vehicle, which did not remain at the scene.

One of two people killed in a New Year’s Eve hit-and-run in San Francisco has been identified by a friend as 27-year-old Hanko Abe.
He said Abe joined a meetup group he was part of to make friends, and he remembered her as positive and outgoing. Abe’s close friends have set up a memorial in her honor.
Police said the driver of the car that struck Abe allegedly ran a red light and hit her and another woman, who also died. Police have arrested the driver who they said is a parolee who was speeding in a stolen car while under the influence at the time of the crash.
