'Cowards didn't have decency to stop:' Search continues for hit-and-run drivers

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — It’s been nearly six months since Florida Highway Troopers said a driver hit Rasheed Wiggins and left him to die on the side of the road.

Wiggins' wife, Kimberly Wiggins, has a new push to get justice for her husband. Channel 9’s Julie Salomone found out that Wiggins has put up two billboards in Orange County about her husband’s unsolved death in the hopes that someone knows something and will come forward with information that could lead to the killer’s arrest.

Rasheed Wiggins was standing in a grass median on April 16, waiting to cross Universal Boulevard near Destination Parkway when he was struck and killed, the FHP said. The driver in a white, 2011-2013 Toyota Prius clipped Wiggins, then two cars ran him over, but only one driver in a taxi cab stopped.

“Three cars ran him over, and two drivers, two cowards, didn’t have the decency to stop,” Kimberly Wiggins said.

One billboard is on Sand Lake Road, another billboard is near International Drive and Kirkman Road in Orange County. The billboard displays the couple's wedding photo and state, “Who killed by beloved Rasheed Wiggins?"

“Rasheed was the only person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and he’s gone, he’s literally gone,” Kimberly Wiggins said.

State Troopers impounded a white Toyota Prius weeks after the crash.

“Unfortunately, after going over that white Prius with a fine tooth comb, we found no evidence to support that it had been involved in a crash with Rasheed," said Kim Montes,with the Florida Highway Patrol.
