A mother from Brooklyn still haunted by the death of her 7-year-old son who was hit by an NYPD tow truck: ‘He was my rock’
Taqunda Hughes was present when her 7-year-old son Kamari passed away, and the memory of what she saw still haunts her to this day.
According to Hughes, her son was struck initially, causing him to fall off his scooter. Subsequently, both tires rolled over him, resulting in his untimely death. Hughes painfully recalls the moment she discovered her son’s lifeless body and realized that he was no longer with her. She vividly expressed her grief, stating that her beloved child had passed away, leaving her with nothing but sorrow and heartache.
According to the police, Kamari lost his life in a tragic accident when he was riding his scooter and got hit by an NYPD tow truck in the crosswalk at Myrtle and North Portland avenues in Fort Greene, Brooklyn on Oct. 26. The incident has left his family and loved ones in immense pain and sorrow. The details of the accident are heart-wrenching, and the loss of Kamari has affected many.
As a vibrant second-grader, Kamari exuded love and energy. During her recent interview, just days after the devastating loss of her son, Hughes lovingly described Kamari as a unique and precious child.
According to Hughes, the person in question is a bundle of energy that is difficult to contain.
After the tragic passing of Kamari, Hughes is now taking on the difficult task of planning her beloved’s funeral. To help with the expenses, she has set up a GoFundMe page where she hopes to receive support from those who are willing to lend a helping hand during this difficult time.
Despite receiving assistance from the New York City mayor’s office and other political figures, the heartbreaking truth remains that nothing can bring her son back.
According to Hughes, her beloved partner was her pillar of strength. She expressed how much her baby meant to her and how she would do anything in her power to bring him back. “I would give the world just to have him back,” she emotionally stated.
According to authorities, the individual behind the wheel of the NYPD tow truck has been identified as Stephanie Sharp, a 54-year-old civilian employee of the NYPD who is a member of the union. It’s worth noting that she is not an officer but rather one of the many civilians employed by the department.
After the tragic incident involving the NYPD tow truck and the 7-year-old boy in Brooklyn, Sharp has been detained and charged with two criminal charges. These charges include failure to yield to a pedestrian and failure to exercise due care. It is a heartbreaking reminder that drivers must always be vigilant and prioritize the safety of those around them. The consequences of reckless driving can be devastating and irreversible.
Hughes expressed, “My child was taken by this woman, and it’s ironic that she happens to be present here.”
