CANTON, Mich. – A grieving family is seeking answers after their loved one was killed in a hit-and-run in Canton.
Michael Chiverton, 43, died on the scene after being hit Thursday, Jan. 11, around 10:40 p.m. on Michigan Avenue near I-275.
Canton police said the driver fled the scene in their vehicle and is still at large.
According to investigators, the vehicle that struck the man was possibly a black Toyota Camry from the model years of 2010-2011.
Chiverton’s parents are pleading for witnesses or the person responsible to come forward.
“I’m not a vengeful person, but I want justice for him, and I think we’re going to need that for closure,” Chiverton’s mom, Rebecca Steward, said.
Steward said Chiverton was a father of six and had a grandchild on the way.
The family said Chiverton was staying in a hotel on Michigan Avenue and was likely hit walking to or from the hotel.
