Five-Year-Old Boy Killed in Hit-and-Run

A five-year-old boy named Luis died after being struck by a fleeing vehicle in High Point, sparking a community outcry and leading to the arrest of Jeremiah J. Benton, who now faces a felony hit-and-run charge. Authorities believe the suspect may have been driving a gray Ford Focus or Fiesta from 2015–2018. Luis’s mother, heartbroken, pleaded for the driver to come forward, calling it an accident — while the family prepares for funeral services, using the suit Luis was meant to wear for his first communion. A GoFundMe has been launched to support them. The case remains under investigation as details continue to unfold. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
