Police said the driver of a pickup truck did not stop after hitting the toddler.
Jordan said prayers are the best thing for the little boy's family right now. They are also struggling for money to pay for the unexpected funeral.Mom and dad have three other kids to care for – Hermes' brothers and sister. They say they won't forget how much their third baby – who was born premature – loved life.
"When he says thank you, he would smile – like the biggest smile," said Hermes' mother, Jocelyn Rios,"and to remember him? I'm pretty sure everyone will remember him.""Pretty much really was a mother's boy. He loved to be up on his mother," Jordan said."There was not hardly a time when I saw him that he wasn't up on his mother's hip.
All day at the scene of the accident, people walked by to stop and offer a quick prayer. That meant a lot to Hermes' religious family. Chicago Police Department data show from January through mid-August of this year, there were 18 deadly hit-and-runs in Chicago – with only five arrests, or 28 percent. For hit-and-runs involving serious personal injuries, there were 203 incidents – with arrests for only six, or 3 percent.
Note, again, that these data only go through mid-August and the hit-and-run that killed Hermes is not included.
