An Appeal To You.. Even If You Don't Live In El Paso
The comment following this paragraph was written in the previous post, but the words of AJ and the importance compels me to post it again, up front and center. If you are reading this we need your help. The street that Heinz was killed on has one of the widest right hand lanes in the whole city, at least 30 feet. It had to be a very unusual circumstance for this to happen. But two things NEED to happen. 1. Get the person who did this to come forward or get caught. 2. Do something to memorialize this event to make our streets a safer place. Tomorrow I will give another idea on what can be done, but for now I don't want to take the gravity of what AJ has to say.

Rick, I sent you our email address if you have any information as to how we can contribute to a reward fund or make the public more aware of what happened to Heinz. The initial write-ups indicated that he was "elderly." What a laugh. Maybe in years but he and his wife were in better shape than most 20-somethings. He was an experienced bicycle rider. I suspect the hit and run driver pulled out of one of two streets (Tenaha or Buffalo Soldier.) If the driver had been traveling south at a high rate of speed, he/she would have seen Heinz or Heinz would have been aware. The driver would have automatically pulled into the left lane. I think this person pulled out of a side street, accelerated to get across George Dieter, turned left into the right lane after looking the other way to make sure no traffic was coming. He/she never saw Heinz who had just passed through until it was too late. Given the early hour, I think that driver lives off of one of those two streets. Why didn't he/she stop to help? No insurance? No license? Please everyone, tell your neighbors about this. I spoke to two people who didn't even know about it.
Me again. We are looking for a white car that has front right damage.
