In the fatal hit-and-run from Saturday night in South Philadlephia, police have released the identities of the victims.  The two-year-old boy who was killed is identified as Derek Martinez.  His mother, who was injured, is 20-year-old Dian Leone.  She's stable at the Hospital if the University of Pennsylvania.
