Life can change in an instant. Many, many people throughout the world have experienced such life-altering moments. That moment came for Stephon Tuitt and his family one year ago, on June 2, when his younger brother, Richard Bartlett III, was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver.
While Tuitt personally was not present, Bartlett’s family was caravanning at the time, helping him to relocate as he set to embark on the next chapter of his life. A careless driver struck him while they were parked on the side of the road tending to a loosened mattress; the driver has yet to be found, leaving an unresolved element to the family’s tragedy and grief.
