THE BRONX, NEW YORK — With profound sadness, we remember 60-year-old Kitt Hamilton, a Bronx resident whose life came to a heartbreaking end after he was struck by a vehicle in an alleged hit-and-run crash. His death has left loved ones facing a painful loss as authorities continue working to determine exactly what happened.
According to the NYPD, Hamilton was struck by a pickup truck while crossing Jerome Avenue in May. The driver allegedly left the scene following the collision, turning a serious incident into an ongoing investigation.
Investigators said the pickup truck also sideswiped a parked FDNY vehicle before leaving the area.
Hamilton was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital following the crash, where he received medical treatment. He was later released from the hospital and returned home.
Tragically, Hamilton was found deceased inside his home approximately three days after the collision.
His death has raised additional questions for investigators, who continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash, Hamilton’s injuries, and the events that occurred between his release from the hospital and the discovery of his death.
The NYPD has confirmed that the investigation remains active. No arrests have been made at this time.
For Hamilton’s family, friends, and those who knew him, his passing represents a devastating loss. The circumstances make the grief even more difficult, as a traffic collision that initially appeared to be a serious but survivable incident ultimately preceded his death days later.
Kitt was 60 years old, an age at which many people continue to build memories with family, friends, and loved ones. His sudden passing has created an absence that those closest to him will now have to learn to live with.
Behind every police report is a person whose life mattered. Kitt was more than a victim in an investigation. He was someone with a life, memories, relationships, and people who cared about him.
Those who loved Kitt will likely remember the moments that defined his life rather than the tragedy that brought it to an end. The memories shared with him can never be taken away, and his presence will remain a part of the lives of those who knew him.
As investigators continue searching for answers, his loved ones are left grieving and hoping that the circumstances surrounding his death will eventually become clearer.
A hit-and-run can leave families with not only grief but also unanswered questions. In Kitt’s case, authorities continue working to identify and determine the circumstances involving the driver who allegedly fled after the crash.
For now, the investigation remains open, and no arrests have been announced.
May Kitt Hamilton rest in peace. May his family and friends find strength during this difficult time, and may the memories of the life he lived bring comfort to everyone who knew and loved him.
Kitt was taken from this world far too soon. His story will not be forgotten, and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Rest peacefully, Kitt Hamilton. Gone, but never forgotten.
