Surveillance video shows a driver hit and kill a 22-year-old man before speeding off early Saturday morning in the Gage Park neighborhood on Chicago's South Side.

Ald. Jeylu Gutierrez (14th) is trying to stop it from happening again.

Police said, around 3:30 a.m., a 22-year-old man was crossing the street at the intersection of 55th Street and Kedzie Avenue when a gray SUV ran a red light and hit him.

Surveillance video shows the victim seemed to stop for a second before he was hit, then kept walking before the SUV hit him and took off.

The driver didn't stop to help the victim, who was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The medical examiners identified the victim as 22-year-old Jermaine Martin.

"From my perspective, the person in the vehicle … slowed down to try and predict where the guy was going to go, and they were both just, it was just bad timing, bad spot," said Lalo Franco, who works at the barber shop across the street from where the hit-and-run happened.

Ald. Gutierrez said after this hit-and-run and other recent incidents, she is asking Chicago police to add more patrols at the same intersection and two other nearby areas.

Franco said crashes like this happen in Gage Park a lot.

"As a citizen here, we obviously want the police to be out in the area as much as possible, but it's a big area to cover," Franco said.

No one has been arrested in connection to the crash. Area 1 detectives were investigating.
