SUFFOLK, Va. — It’s been over a month since Karen Mcall’s son was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Suffolk.
She is still searching for answers. So are the police.
"It has been a month, and nobody has come forth to say, 'Maybe I hit something in the road,' and it's sad," said Mcall, who lives in Birmingham, Ala. "I feel like a part of me died on Feb. 12. I'm just here existing. That's exactly how I feel."
Mcall’s son, 30-year-old Kendrick Jackson, was a welder at Newport News Shipbuilding. He had been returning home from a Super Bowl party with his roommate when he was struck by a car on Godwin Boulevard in Suffolk.
"The gentleman that Kendrick was in the car with said that Kendrick was hot and he wasn't feeling good. So, he said as he was turning, Kendrick fell out of the car. My question was, why was he not in a seatbelt? How did the door get open and you're moving," said Mcall.
With many unanswered questions, Jackson's family is now committed to getting answers for him and his 3-year-old son he left behind.
"I don't want this to become a cold case. I don't want people to think that nobody is fighting for Kendrick, because I am fighting for Kendrick. Whatever information that I need to do to get justice for my son, that's what I will do forever," said Mcall.
Booking a flight to Hampton Roads in the coming weeks is her next step as she aims to speak with police in person to learn more details.
In the meantime, she has a message for the person responsible.
"Do you not have any compassion? Do you not care that you took a life? What if it were you? What if you were taken away from your children," asked Mcall.
News 3 did speak with police to see if there were any updates about this investigation and if they have a person of interest.
As of Sunday, March 19, they do not, but they said they are looking for a 2011-2013 dark-colored SUV and a 2019-2023 white Dodge RAM pickup truck that left the scene before officers arrived.
Anyone with information about what happened should call (757) 923-2350.
