Devon Butler, a 29-year-old father of one, was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident early Saturday morning, compounding the grief of a family already reeling from multiple tragedies this year. Butler, who had recently celebrated his birthday, was walking east on Robinson Road around 2am when he was struck by a dark-colored Acura. Moments later, a second vehicle ran over him. While the first driver stopped, the second fled the scene, leaving Butler fatally injured. His sister, Latoya Smith, described the incident as devastating, stating that the family is seeking answers and plans to meet with police. Butler had been working two jobs—at Cash N Go and Cacique—to provide for his six-year-old son and aspired to become a lawyer. Despite facing numerous hardships, he remained determined to build a stable life for his family. Butler was reportedly heading home from work when the accident occurred. A friend and roommate grew concerned when he failed to return, and a Superwash employee later informed the family that Butler had stopped there minutes earlier to arrange a ride. Smith learned of the accident hours later, initially dismissing an early-morning call until repeated attempts, including one from her sister, delivered the heartbreaking news. The family has endured a series of tragedies this year, including their mother’s debilitating injury in a February hit-and-run and their father’s death from illness in September. Smith described their upbringing as challenging but emphasized the love and care their father provided. She believes Butler’s death echoed a spiritual warning, recalling a recent conversation about their mother’s condition. Despite their mother’s absence during their childhood, Butler maintained a positive relationship with her. Smith fondly remembered her brother as a loving and caring individual who brought joy to their lives. His final message to her was an invitation to church on Sunday, a promise she now deeply regrets not fulfilling. As the family prepares for a painful Christmas without Butler, they reflect on his enduring love and the void his absence leaves.
