FAIR OAKS, Calif. —

A Sacramento County family is sharing their heartbreak after they say their son, Shauvin Horsley, was hit by a car and dragged for almost a mile before he died on Monday night near Madison Avenue and Interstate 80.

Dalicha Johnson, Horsley’s mother, shared memories of her 26-year-old son, showing videos of him dancing and playing voicemails he left her saying, “I love you. Have a good rest of your evening.”

“My baby was a good person,” Johnson said. “To know him is to love him. And everybody that came across him, they loved him.”

Horsley was killed while trying to cross Madison Avenue on his bike. The California Highway Patrol reported that Horsley was not using a crosswalk when he was hit by the first car, followed by a second car that then dragged him for nearly a mile.

Horsley’s body fell from the car on Renick Way, just a few hundred feet from his family’s home, before the driver fled the scene.

“I picked up my baby’s shoe off of Madison,” she said. “Nobody deserved this. He definitely didn’t deserve it.”

Johnson said her son struggled with mental health and chose to live on the street, but he always had a family to come home to.

“We do need to be more aware of the unhoused population and see them. And just because they’re unhoused, it doesn’t make them any less of a person. They’re still people. They have family,” she said.

In the days following Horsley’s death, the California Highway Patrol announced an arrest in the case. KCRA 3 asked CHP for more details on the arrest and charges. We’re waiting to hear back.

Horsley’s family expressed gratitude for the justice the arrest brings as they begin to grieve his loss. They started a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses.

“I just know I want to hold him. I just want to hold him,” Johnson said. “He had a good heart.”
