The mother of a man killed by a hit-and-run driver while riding his bike in Manhattan is demanding justice for her son.
Erick Lamont Bowie, 32, was killed when the driver of a 2021 Dodge Durango sideswiped him as he was biking southbound on Amsterdam Ave. near W. 151st St. in Hamilton Heights around 9:45 p.m. on June 19.
“I want this person caught. I want charges pressed against him,” the victim’s mother, Tanya Bowe, told the Daily News on Friday. “My son didn’t deserve this. I want justice for my son.”
The collision sent Bowie careening into a minivan parked nearby. He suffered severe head injuries in the crash.
Medics rushed him to Harlem Hospital, where he died.
Bowie worked as a driver at Interfaith Medical Center. He lived with his mother in the NYCHA Ingersoll Houses in Fort Greene in Brooklyn.
The Dodge Durango driver fled after the fatal collision and has not been arrested.
