What they’re saying

“He was a person, he was loved, he had family, and he was like any other young gentleman. The person who hit him and left him in the streets without even calling for help did us wrong. The 15 minutes that the police said he was down there for caused a lot of damage. If only (the driver) had called for help, Christopher might just be here with us.”

— Munah Teah, Mother of Christopher B. Teah

“The past month and couple of days has been hell for me and my family. You took my son away from me and did not even care to show any concern, not one single concern. Now, I'm left to bury my son. It didn't have to be this way.”

— Munah Teah, Mother of Christopher B. Teah

“We're looking forward to you coming up and showing yourself, which will bring closure to us. Christopher was a light within our family. Don't stay in hiding and not say anything, then it means that this family will never find closure.”

— Elvis Teah, Uncle of Christopher B. Teah
