According to his friends who witnessed the incident, a dark SUV hit the boy at about 2 a.m. near the corner of Church and Skillman, dragging his body several feet before driving away. Green was dead by the time paramedics arrived.

That night, his family and about 100 friends from the Lake Highlands community gathered for a vigil to remember Green, who is described as the freshman who “loved sports, loved the girls and loved to dance,” says his mother, Tyrlonda Banks.

“Please. Please,” she begged. “If you know anything about this, call the police. That was my baby. They just left him there.”

Anyone with information should call detectives at 214.670.4415.
