street at Colonial and Home Folks drives Tuesday night with a shopping cart filled with luggage when he was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver.
His family members told Channel 9's Roy Ramos that Perez was on his way to spend Christmas with his mother.
Surveillance video shot from a home near the intersection captured the faint image of Perez starting across the busy road around 8 p.m. The sound of a loud thump is heard, followed by tires screeching as cars slam on their brakes.
The traffic is seen coming to a stop, but not before three drivers left the scene of the accident.
"I just thought it was a buggy that got hit. I didn't pay any attention, but immediately when the cars were braking, we knew something was going on," witness Lebryant Jones said.
