Kitzmiller was rushed to a nearby hospital, but sadly, he didn’t make it.

Still No Description Of The Vehicle

Police haven’t released any details about the vehicle involved: no make, model, or color. That makes it even harder for loved ones to get closure.

It has not yet been revealed why Jon was out for a walk or where he was headed. What we do know is that his life ended far too soon, and someone out there drove away instead of offering help.
