28-year-old man tragically lost his life in Prince George's County when a hit-and-run driver struck him. The perpetrator's actions were captured by a doorbell camera.
On a Saturday, the lifeless body of Franklin Mendez, aged 28, was discovered on Ardwick Ardmore Road. Concerned neighbors reviewed their doorbell camera footage, revealing the suspect exiting his vehicle, removing Mendez's body from the windshield, and then hastily departing in his car.
