Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office reported that Luis Carlos Herrera, 29, passed away at 2:55 a.m. at Froedtert Memorial Hospital after he succumbed to his motorcycle injuries that he endured during a hit-and-run incident at the 1600 block of W. Forest Home Ave. just before 5:00 p.m. on May 28, 2023.

Herrera was driving his motorcycle Westbound on Forest Home when a vehicle ran a red light and struck Herrera, then the driver of the vehicle fled the scene without stopping.

Police recovered a handgun that belonged to Herrera at the scene.

Herrera was hospitalized for severe head injuries and a broken right leg, but he never regained consciousness due to critical damage to his brain and remained in coma until his death. Part of his right leg was amputated and was on a life-support machine at Froedtert Memorial Hospital.

Police are looking for the suspect in the hit-and-run who crashed into Herrera.
