“All we have are memories. And he was too young,” Estrada tells FOX 4’s Peyton Yager.<\/p>\n

Turner was on his way to the gas station after work when he was hit, his mother says.<\/p>\n

Estrada was notified several days after the crash. She’s still hopeful Dallas Police will catch the suspect.<\/p>\n
