Shea Shaw was 15 when a driver hit her near Camden and Bascom avenues

Police are reopening a 2011 hit-and-run case because a former Los Gatos High School student died a decade after a driver hit her at an intersection near Cambrian Park and left her with debilitating injuries, authorities said.

Shea Olivia Shaw, undated photo. (Mercury News archive; courtesy of the family) Shea Shaw, a Campbell resident who was then 15, was with her boyfriend around 1:10 a.m. Jan. 8, 2011 at the intersection of Camden and Bascom avenues when she was hit by a motorist traveling east on Camden in a gray or silver early-2000s sedan, according to San Jose police. The driver fled.

The only video of the collision was grainy surveillance footage from a nearby gas station, and the case has remained unsolved. San Jose police said in light of her death, “the hit and run investigation will be re-opened in an effort to generate leads.”

Her father told this news organization in 2011 that his daughter and her boyfriend had just left a party and were acting playfully in a grassy area when she ran out ahead of the boyfriend and the car hit her.

It would seem they have better things to do.

I used to live a couple miles from there.
Probably an illegal with no license or insurance.
Likely drunk too...

How could you know the person is Mexican? If you have info, you should give it to the police.

Me too.
I think your guesses on the driver are the way to bet.
Maybe add outstanding warrants?

How do you know an illegal alien is a Mexican?

Is there something you should be telling the police, hmmmm?

Robbed of what would’ve been her beautiful life and made to endure 11 years of unimaginable suffering... Sad beyond belief.

Yeah, and the f*ing libs want to see more of it... OPEN THE BORDER! LET THE KILLERS IN!

This is the more mind blowing part of the article.

San Jose police are investigating Shaw’s death as the 28th roadway death of 2022 — a total that grew to 29 after a North San Jose collision early Friday — and the case becomes the 16th pedestrian fatality of the year.

This year is on pace to become the deadliest on city roadways, with a trajectory well above the 25-year peak of 60 deaths reached last year and in 2015 and 2019. The 2011 collision also marks the city’s eighth fatal hit-and-run case of 2022, according to data compiled by this news organization.

16 pedestrian fatalities in a city of 1 million is absurb. There needs to be a concerted education effort for both pedestrians and drivers there. That equates to 48 pedestrian deaths per year.

It’s a most likely guess in San Jose

“...who was then 15, was with her boyfriend around 1:10 a.m. Jan. 8, 2011...”

That was a Saturday night.

I would’ve been more worried about the damage my father would’ve done to me for being 15 y/o and out at 1:10am ANY NIGHT.
