Family Wants Justice for Man Killed in Hit-and-Run

A grieving family is seeking the public’s help as police continue to search for the driver in a hit-and-run crash that claimed a man’s life.

Ives Shaud III, 55, was riding his bike near Sharp Street in Millville, New Jersey back on Sept. 14 at 7:34 p.m. Shaud’s family told NBC10 he was only riding the bike because his car was damaged two weeks prior and he needed a way to get around. As he was about two blocks from his home, he was suddenly struck from behind by a vehicle which fled the scene, according to witnesses.

"I saw in my rearview mirror him fly," said Megan Glynn, a witness. "I saw the bike and it was bent in half." 

Neighbors told NBC10 the impact was so loud they could hear it from inside their homes.

"I was in my house, in the kitchen and I heard what I thought was metal on metal," said Diane McMahon. "Apparently it was a man on a bicycle." 

Shaud was taken to the hospital where he was in a medically induced coma until he died from his injuries on Oct. 4.

"You wake up one day and you don't have a chance to say goodbye," said Sherri Carman, Shaud's sister. "But you love them."

Over a week after his death, his family is asking for donations in order to give him a proper burial.

“My uncle did not have life insurance and he did not want a funeral,” wrote Cheyanne Shaud, the victim’s niece. “We simply want to have him cremated and bury him privately.”

The family believes the hit-and-run vehicle was a black car, possibly a Toyota Camry, with a missing sideview mirror and missing headlight.

A $1000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest. If you have any information on the crash, please call the Millville Police Traffic Unit at 856-825-7010 or the Anonymous Tip Line at 856-825-2182.

"I want them to tell me they're sorry," said Shaud's mother Molly Shaud. "I'm not after punishment. I just want to know if they feel something."
