Nearly two weeks after they lost her, the family of Evelyn Agyei is still searching for answers and waiting to learn who was behind the wheel of the SUV that struck her Subaru and pushed into a tree in Bridgeport.
Agyei died in the crash on Boston Avenue.
“There's not enough words to describe the frustration and the grief that not only has affected brother Jonathan and his family, he no longer has a wife. His children no longer have a mother,” said Rev. Edwin DeBourgh, pastor at the Stratford Church of God.
One of those children, 11-year-old Michael was in the car with his mother. He survived.
“He had a muscle stretch, he had neck pain, he had some bruises on his lungs, then damage to his spinal cord,” said explained his father, Jonathan Agyei.
Doctors believe Michael will make a full recovery.
Police are still searching for the white BMW X3 pictured in surveillance footage from that night. According to police, detectives have used all means possible to figure out who was driving, but they need the public's help in identifying the culprit.

“We're doing everything we possibly can to get to the bottom of this, but really it's about information,” said Bridgeport Police Chief Joseph Gaudett.
Police ask anyone who may have information, whether it be a body shop that worked on a damaged SUV or a neighbor who saw something in the area, to come forward.
“Without this, we will still continue to search for whoever caused this into my family. Please come out and let us know what happened,” said Francis Turkson, Evelyn Agyei’s brother.
The Agyei family is echoing that plea.
“Don't wait for another life to be lost, before you take action. Please help us heal, because we lost a dear one,” said Franklin Appiah, Evelyn Agyei’s cousin.
