ESPAÑOLA, N.M. — A family in Española is looking for answers after an unknown driver hit and killed their loved one earlier this month.
It happened on the night of Oct. 2. According to New Mexico State Police, Ricardo Chavez was walking on State Road 68 when a driver hit him and took off.
Chavez’s niece is asking for whomever was behind the wheel to come forward.
