As Alvelo was thrown to the ground, suffering from head and body injuries, the driver callously continued heading north on Third Ave.
According to Lester, law enforcement officers informed him that a woman was driving the vehicle.
According to Lester, the woman exited the vehicle and briefly glanced at the man before hastily retreating back into the car and driving away.
He added that the woman who was driving the white car known by the police should face prosecution for her actions. Despite the authorities’ knowledge of the vehicle, the woman has yet to be found.
