The NYPD is looking for a man who was driving a Chevy SUV on Friday night and hit John Dozier, a 64-year-old East New York resident who died as a result.
Relatives of a Brooklyn man who was fatally mowed down Friday night hope the cowardly driver steps up and turns himself in.
Investigators told 64-year-old John Dozier’s family that the hit-and-run driver was behind the wheel of a rented Chevrolet SUV about 8:25 p.m. The vehicle slammed into Dozier, who was trying to cross Remsen Ave. near Avenue L. Cops said the driver, described only as a man, sped off.

Dozier, a Navy veteran who lived in East New York, was taken to Brookdale University Hospital, but could not be saved. “He had a beautiful personality,” said his devastated sister, Judy Dozier. “He got along with everybody. He was willing to help anybody.”
Dozier was looking forward to retiring next year from his radiology job at the Manhattan VA hospital, his family said. “I just hope whoever was driving at the time and did this comes forward and confesses,” his sister said.
