Miramar Police and the family of Jahmar Williams, 31, hospitalized after being run over on this busy street in Miramar, are seeking answers and help from the community.
Jose Rosales, Miramar Police Officer: “On Saturday March 4 at 1:42 a.m. there was a serious collision between a BMW and Jammal William attempting to cross the street in the 6500 block of Pembroke Road.
In his grief, Williams’ father said his son, a member of the National Guard, was still fighting for his life.
John Williams, father of the victim, said: “He is very, very charismatic, with a smile that lights up the room. Anyone who comes into contact with him becomes a better person.”
Eleska Moore, mother of the victim, said: “It’s very difficult to get a call saying your son was hit by a car, my son is one of the best parts of me.”
His brother was also today asking for help to find the driver responsible, he witnessed this terrible incident which still makes him tremble with fear.
Christopher William, brother of the victim who witnessed it all, said: “He was hit by a car which could have hit us both, I don’t know how I survived. Jamall is at the hospital fighting for its life, we believe the vehicle is from 2013 to 2016.”
In the last 6 months in this same area, the Miramar police have investigated 4 vehicle accidents, 3 of which were fatal and 2 with drivers who fled.
“I know things happen, we don’t want to do any harm, we just want this driver to identify himself, face to face, because of what he did.”
Police are asking anyone with information to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (tel: 954-493-TIPS).
