NEW: Madison Heights police release images, descriptions of vehicles in deadly hit-and-run
Police said they are looking for two vehicles because they believe Nadea Kassab was hit once while crossing the street and then again while she was lying in the road.
The incident happened just after midnight Sunday morning.
A makeshift memorial formed at the site of the crash 18 hours after she was hit while walking.
Kassab walked the area often because she lived nearby.
"They're speechless," Kassab's cousin, Marilyn Bahoura, said of her family. "They're (in) shock. It's something you would never expect."
Bahoura said Kassab was the kind of woman who was a friend to everyone.
"Beautiful girl," Bahoura said of Kassab. "(She) loves family, loves family gatherings, loves to go out to eat. She was such a foodie. Just an amazing heart. Never hurt anyone."
Bahoura is also struggling to understand how someone could hit her cousin and not stop, and another driver do the same thing while she was lying in the road.
"If you're going to crash somebody by accident, get out the car and check on her," Bahoura said. "You could've saved her. She could've been saved.
Kassab lived in an apartment down the street with her boyfriend. Police said they don't have much to go on, but said the second vehicle involved was described as black. There is no description of the first vehicle which struck Kassab.
"Whoever did this, please come forward, because she's a sister, she's a daughter, she's a friend," Bahoura said. "Just please come forward and let us know what happened."
Bahoura said Kassab had anxiety and that she had told her she was afraid she was going to die.
She would calm her down and say, "It's OK. You're going to be fine. You're not going to die."
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Madison Heights police.
