FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — The family of Dominique Greene is asking for the public’s help after the young mother was killed in a hit-and-run crash while crossing West Sunrise Boulevard. On Friday night, relatives joined Fort Lauderdale police and first responders to post flyers around the city and look for witnesses who may know who was behind the wheel.
Greene was struck on Oct. 21 and later died at Broward Health Medical Center. Her mother, Sekennia Greene, said the loss has left the family grieving and trying to care for a baby who has been left behind. Police say the vehicle did not stop after the crash, and investigators still have not identified the driver.
Police say a black Mercedes-Benz struck Greene on West Sunrise Boulevard
According to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, the crash happened around 8:04 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21, as Greene was trying to cross the westbound lanes of West Sunrise Boulevard. Officers said she was hit by a newer-model black Mercedes-Benz AMG Performance coupe, possibly built between 2021 and 2023.
Investigators believe the driver left the scene immediately after the collision instead of stopping to help. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue took Greene to the hospital, where she died from her injuries. Police have not publicly identified the person driving the Mercedes-Benz, but they say the search is focused on finding both the vehicle and the operator.
Family says the crash site needs better safety measures
Greene’s parents are also pressing for changes near the location where she was killed. They said the area is used by children crossing the roadway to get to school and should have stronger safety protections, including surveillance cameras.
The family says the lack of cameras makes it harder to identify the suspect vehicle and also raises concerns about how dangerous the crossing can be for pedestrians. Their message has been simple: the intersection needs more attention before another family suffers the same kind of loss. For them, the case is not only about finding a driver, but about preventing another deadly crash in a busy corridor.
Blurry surveillance image shows a vehicle with front-end damage
Police say surveillance footage captured a blurry image of the suspected vehicle, but the image has not been enough to identify the driver. Investigators believe the Mercedes-Benz may have damage to the front grille and right headlight, and they also said there could be damage to the passenger-side windshield and A-pillar, the section that connects the windshield to the roof.
That damage could help someone recognize the car if it is being driven, parked or repaired somewhere in the community. Police have said the vehicle appears to be a newer black Mercedes-Benz AMG coupe, and they are asking anyone who has seen one with matching damage to come forward with details.
Police chief says someone knows who was driving
Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Bill Schultz said investigators need tips from the public to move the case forward. He said someone likely knows where the car is and who was driving it when Greene was killed. Police are urging that person, or anyone with useful information, to contact investigators without delay.
Greene’s family echoed that appeal while handing out flyers near the crash area. They said they hope a witness, neighbor or repair shop employee will recognize the car and help bring the case closer to an arrest. Their request is aimed at finding answers for Greene’s loved ones and for the baby she leaves behind.
How to contact investigators with information
Anyone with information is asked to contact Fort Lauderdale Police Traffic Homicide Investigator Jill Hirsch at 954-828-5753. Tips can also be shared with Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS, or 8477.
Police have not said whether they believe the driver intentionally fled or whether the crash remains under active review for additional leads. For now, investigators say the public’s help may be the key to identifying the damaged Mercedes-Benz and the person behind the wheel.
