Finding the hit and run driver is a top priority for police and there were a few clues left at the scene. They say witnesses and the vehicle debris left at the scene point to a silver sedan with damage on the left front wheel area, near the bumper. "What makes it the worst of the worst, is there's a child involved. And no one wants to see a child suffer, injured, or killed but to add insult to injury that person left," said Brian Hance with the Fresno Police Department.
As Gage's family and police look for answers, his fellow classmates are reeling as well. A crisis team was on hand at Slater elementary Monday, where Gage and all three of his siblings attend school. His principal describes him as a sweet and friendly child who had a lot of friends, so his death has been hard on a lot of students and staff. "Even though we're not a particularly small school, we are a small family. And we have been affected by this, every one of us," said Slater principal Joan Steinhauer.
