Police said Monday that Melita Jaric, who had been on life support after she was struck in a hit-and-run on Friday, has died. Natasha Jaric spoke about losing her sister. Neighbor Lee Feinberg said that a call for help was bounced around five to six times on 911, but the 911 audio provided to NBC 6 didn't indicate that the call was transferred. Police said that if something like that had occurred it would be part of their investigation, but it has not come up. Miami-Dade Police spokesman Detective Javier Baez also discussed the case.
Melita Jaric, 43, was on life support Saturday, a day after she was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Southwest 11th Street. Her sister Natasha Jaric and Florida International University Professor Giri Narasimhan spoke about her.
