A family is left to grieve and two young children are left without a father after a 25-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run crash while riding his motorcycle in Portage Park on Saturday.
Ladyanna Barajas, the mother of Kapan’s two children, is speaking out after the crash.
“I’m in denial. I’m in all sorts of denial,” she said. “I’m at home and just waiting for him to come up the stairs.” Barajas says that after the crash, the driver rushed to the backseat of the sedan to grab a child, and then fled the scene.Yusuf Kapan said that the driver in the case took a young, bright light away from the world.Yusuf says that he will try to help care for his brother’s two children, trying to fill a void that he says he knows he can never completely fill.
“I’m just trying to be strong for my family, and for my mother and my father and the kids,” he said. “I have to take on his role and I will never amount to that.” The family says they can cover the funeral expenses, but have set up a GoFundMe to help provide for the needs of Kapan’s two young children.
