E-bike that siblings were riding before hit-and-run <\/p>\n
Patrice, the children\u2019s aunt, told Local 10 News this week that Peyton and Brent were inseparable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey always were together. Always were together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Patrice remembered 10-year-old Peyton as a cheerleader who was full of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was a cheerleader, you know, full of life. Everybody loved her,\u201d Patrice said. \u201cAnd now for this to happen and no one to come forward, it\u2019s just senseless.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brent remained hospitalized Friday following surgery and a makeshift memorial of candles, balloons and other tributes was set up near the intersection where the siblings were struck.<\/p>\n
Their family pleaded with the driver to surrender.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey need to turn themselves in, period,\u201d Patrice said. \u201cJust turn yourself in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just hope somebody just comes forward,\u201d she added. \u201cHave a heart, please. Because this could have been anybody\u2019s kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the driver\u2019s identity or whereabouts is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n
