Mayor Eric Adams has taken a bold step in the pursuit of justice for the tragic hit-and-run incident that claimed the life of groom-to-be Kirk Walker. Walker, a 38-year-old father of three, was just one day away from marrying his fiancée, Shauntea Weaver, when a wrong-way driver collided with their car, resulting in a fatal crash. In a poignant gesture, Adams has offered a $1,000 reward from his own pocket for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the reckless motorist responsible for this heartbreaking tragedy.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday when Walker and his cousin, Robert McLaurin, were out for a bachelor party. Their Dodge Challenger was struck by a Chevy Silverado driving the wrong way down the Henry Hudson Parkway, instantly claiming the lives of both men. The driver of the Chevy fled the scene on foot, leaving behind a scene of devastation and grief.

Weaver, who was supposed to be walking down the aisle with Walker on that fateful Sunday, expressed her profound shock and sorrow at the turn of events. The couple had built a successful car rental business together, a testament to Walker’s dedication and hard work. Weaver described the loss as not just personal but deeply impactful for Walker’s three children, who are now left without their loving father.

Adams, visibly moved by the tragedy, has reached out to Walker’s family to offer his support and condolences. He has vowed to do everything in his power to bring closure to the family and ensure that justice is served for the untimely loss of their loved one. The community is also coming together to support the grieving family, with plans for a memorial ceremony at the crash site to honor Walker’s memory.

The search for the hit-and-run driver is ongoing, with the police having apprehended a passenger from the Chevy Silverado. The driver and another passenger managed to escape the scene before their vehicle caught fire, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts focused on identifying and apprehending the driver responsible for this senseless tragedy.

As the community mourns the loss of Kirk Walker and Robert McLaurin, there is a collective call for justice and accountability. Mayor Eric Adams’ gesture of offering a reward for information demonstrates a commitment to standing up for victims of reckless and irresponsible behavior on the roads. The memory of Kirk Walker will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, as the quest for justice continues in his honor.
