DETROIT, MI – A heart-wrenching plea for justice echoed through the halls of a press conference on Wednesday, as Beverly Winfrey, the mother of 27-year-old Steven Radcliff, spoke about the tragic loss of her son caused by a hit-and-run driver. The incident, which took place in March 2020, left the family shattered and searching for answers more than five years later.
Winfrey described Radcliff as the “heart of our family,” a sentiment that was palpable as she fought back tears while recalling his vibrant spirit and the important role he played in the lives of his loved ones. “He took a son, he took her uncle,” she said, emphasizing the void left in their lives since his untimely death.
On that fateful day, Radcliff was crossing the street at the intersection of Dequindre Street and East Robinwood Street when he was struck by an unidentified vehicle. The driver failed to stop, leaving the scene and sparking an unresolved investigation that continues to haunt the grieving family.
As they gather for the upcoming holiday season, the void of Radcliff’s absence is felt deeper than ever. The family is hopeful that, by sharing their story publicly, someone may come forward with information that can lead to justice. “We just want closure. We need to know who did this to our son,” Winfrey expressed during the emotional press conference.
Police are urging anyone with details regarding the incident to step forward and help bring peace to Radcliff’s family. The hope is that, after years of silence, someone with vital information will finally speak out, allowing a grieving mother to find the justice she seeks.
