A driver ran over a grandfather in East Point, killing him and leaving tire tracks and oil on his clothing, police said.
Dewey Edward Skidmore, 60, died of blunt force trauma to the chest when he was run over Sunday about 3:30 a.m.
The incident happened on an access road near busy Camp Creek Parkway in East Point, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Mark Skidmore, Dewey’s son, told Channel 2 police don’t have many clues.
“We located tire tracks on his clothing along with grease marks on the back of his trousers the front of his trousers and his shirt so that is definitely leading us toward some sort of vehicle that struck him,” Skidmore said.
Police hope surveillance cameras from nearby hotels and businesses can help.
The 60-year-old was a grandfather and a father of three boys
“[We loved him a lot we want to see justice done,” Skidmore said.
Daughter-in-law Brittany Wilson said she hopes someone comes forward to help police.
“How do you sleep that night, or the following night?” Wilson said. “How are you sleeping last night when you killed somebody? A father, a dad, a person.”
