Meng Kue was driving east on West Glendale Avenue when a vehicle traveling north on North 76th Street collided with his car at approximately 9:01 p.m. on the 4600 block of North 76th Street, according to Milwaukee police. Kue succumbed to injuries sustained during the collision and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the northbound vehicle fled the scene, and Milwaukee police continue to seek the unknown suspect.
Kue's family, too shaken to speak publicly, confirmed his employment with Bell Ambulance. The company declined to comment but acknowledged his death in a Facebook post Friday morning, writing that "his passing leaves a void in all our hearts."
A.D. Sanders, who lives nearby, came home to police tape and flashing lights Thursday night.
"Only vehicles I could see from this corner to that corner was all emergency vehicles," Sanders said.
The crash occurred just a block from where Sanders was shoveling snow Friday morning. For him, the hit-and-run hits close to home.

"I feel sorry for them, because my mother is one day home from the hospital from an accident. Hit-and-run," Sanders said.
This marks the second deadly crash near the intersection in less than a year. In October, 36-year-old Hue Xiong died when a motorcycle collided with a car at the same location.

Neighbor "Ree," who asked not to be fully identified, says she's fed up with reckless driving on this stretch of road.
"I was somewhat in a state of shock… had a flashback from a previous accident here where the guy got killed," Ree said.
The repeated tragedies have left her considering drastic action.
"I'm ready to move. I am. Truly," Ree said.
Sanders believes drivers should treat the road like their loved ones are walking nearby and wants tougher consequences for reckless driving.
"Greater accountability, higher fines, possible jail time… felony charges," Sanders said.
