"One of my employees, her husband, died. It was a hit-and-run just down the street here. They were walking to the store and somebody hit him, and they just left him," Parra said. "It’s kind of dangerous here, and we don’t have too many officers here that can watch our street, you know, we need more officers in this area."

Search continues for the driver

The sheriff's office adds this investigation is ongoing, but the vehicle that hit the teens was recovered. The driver of the 2008 black Audi has not been identified or located.
