Tragedy Strikes in Antioch: Family Pleads for Justice After Hit-and-Run Claims Life of Teenager
A devastating hit-and-run incident has left a family reeling in grief after a 17-year-old girl was killed on the streets of Antioch. Jeana Flores, who had just begun to turn her life around, was struck by a driver at approximately 9 p.m. while walking home from doing laundry at a friend's house.
The family is now desperately seeking justice and closure as they plead with the community to come forward with any information that might lead to the identification of the suspect. According to Elias Flores, Jeana's uncle, she had been trying to get enrolled in Job Corps on Treasure Island, a dream she was determined to pursue. The young girl had also called him just three weeks ago to discuss her faith and seek guidance.
Police investigation reveals that Jeana was found lying on the shoulder of the road near L Street between West 18th and 10th Streets around 3:30 a.m. on Friday with visible scrapes and gashes on her head and hands. The authorities have confirmed that she was the victim of a hit-and-run, leaving the community in shock.
The family is overwhelmed with grief and frustration, urging anyone who might have witnessed the incident or has information about the driver to come forward. They are particularly seeking the suspect's identity and are pleading for closure to move on from this senseless tragedy.
As loved ones struggle to cope with their loss, they can only hope that justice will be served soon. The Antioch Police Department is urging anyone with information to contact them immediately. The community is being asked to rally around this family in their time of need and support the efforts to bring the perpetrator to justice.

my cousin had a close call with a car once on the sidewalk and she was lucky to be okay... anyway yeah justice needs to be served ASAP for jeana's fam
