Mother of Atlanta woman killed in street racing hit-and-run pleads for driver to come forward
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – It’s not hard to tell that Shantea Reeves was loved. Sunday, her family laid her to rest, after just 32 short years on Earth.
“My daughter was an angel to all. When you’d first meet, she brought a smile to your face,” said Shantea’s mother Della.
The model, actress, best friend and mother was tragically killed on Aug 4. Atlanta police said two cars were racing on I-20 near Moreland Avenue.
Reeves was on the shoulder when she was hit by the car that was in the far-right lane.
“She got ran over several times. I couldn’t even have a regular closed casket like everybody else, because of the fact that she was in pieces,” said Della.
The investigation revealed the drivers were going at least 100 miles per hour and not one of them stopped for her.
“If that person would have just stopped, maybe you wouldn’t have killed her. Maybe she just would have been hospitalized,” said Shantea’s sister Dajiona.
All they now have is precious memories to cherish.
“My daughter was a servant to the community,” said Della.
Her family is hoping someone can come forward to hold the ones responsible, accountable.
“It’s not right to take someone’s life. You don’t have the choice to take someone’s life,” said Dajiona.
“I just want people to come forward. Don’t be scared. I need you to imagine if this was your mother, your sister, your daughter,” said Della.
If you have any information that can help the case, you can call the Atlanta Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS(8477). You can report tips anonymously.

A program that teaches young Atlantans how to ride bikes suffered a major loss this week, after thieves emptied a storage trailer, making off with 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The “Shifting Gears” program helps young cyclists learn how to navigate city streets on two wheels from an early age — particularly in underserved communities that suffer from high rates of traffic injuries and fatalities.

An Atlanta nonprofit is asking the public for help after it was the victim of a brazen theft earlier this week.
Propel ATL said that thieves cleared out an entire trailer of bicycles meant for underprivileged kids sometime on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
Jeremiah Jones, the nonprofit’s advocacy manager, said that someone broke into the trailer and took 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The equipment was part of a program that gives bikes to children from low-income schools and teaches them how to ride.
“My heart sank when I got the call that all the bikes were gone. I said, ‘Surely not all of them.’ And all of them are gone,” Jones said. “This class is solely for kids, and this crime is affecting them.”
Atlanta police are reviewing security footage from the area. Jones said you could see people taking the bikes out of the trailer, carrying them down a hill, and bringing them into a nearby parking lot.
The nonprofit is now trying to raise more than $10,000 to replace the bikes.
Propel ATL is also asking who may have information about the theft to contact them at programs@letspropelatl.org.
A man was arrested at a concert last week after he shoved two kids off their bicycles, causing one of them to fall into a fountain, Sandy Springs police said. FOX 5 Atlanta’s Brittany Edney reporting.
