Mother pleads for tips after son killed in Harris County hit-and-run

Felicia Clark is asking anyone with information to come forward after her 24-year-old son, Kevon Clark, was killed in a hit-and-run on Interstate 45 North in Harris County. More than two months later, no arrests have been made in the April 7 crash that left his family grieving and investigators still searching for the driver or drivers involved.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office says the crash happened at 2:08 a.m. in the 18700 block of the North Freeway southbound main lanes, near the FM 1960/Cypress Creek Parkway area south of Spring. Deputies later received a call around 3 a.m. about a pedestrian, identified as Kevon Clark, being hit in the southbound lanes near Cypress Oaks Drive.

Investigators say Clark was in the number 3 lane when an unknown vehicle traveling southbound struck him and threw him into the adjacent number 4 lane. The driver who hit him did not stop and left the scene. Authorities say several additional vehicles also hit Clark, and none of those drivers stopped to render aid or call 911.

The case has become a race against fading memories and limited leads, with Crime Stoppers and the sheriff's office Vehicular Crimes Division asking the public to help identify the suspect or suspects responsible for the fatal failure-to-stop-and-render-aid crash. Authorities have not said where Clark was coming from or where he was headed before the collision, leaving investigators with a narrow picture of the moments before impact on the North Freeway.

For Felicia Clark, the loss is especially painful because Kevon was the second son she has lost in a hit-and-run. Her older son, Robert Jones, a postal worker, was killed in a similar crash in 2023. Family members remember Kevon Clark as outgoing, compassionate and always willing to help others. He also leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter, and his mother says faith is helping her keep moving forward as she continues to urge witnesses to speak up.

Anyone with information about the crash is urged to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers.
