The Escondido community is still filled with grief for 11-year-old Aiden, who had gone into the street to get a soccer ball when he was hit by a car.
The driver in that incident left the scene.
Aiden died in the hospital.
The driver, who police believe is 44-year-old Hector Balderas Amador, is now charged with felony hit and run.
Aiden is being remembered for the joy he brought to life.
“He had a big personality, I would just say happy. He, he loved to play, he, he was a happy kid. He had a big personality,” said Irene Gonzales, Aiden’s aunt.
