A quiet Monday afternoon in Shreveport turned tragic when a local woman lost her life in a hit-and-run crash. Stephanie Hunt Oneal was walking down Gideon Street when a driver struck her and sped away without stopping.
The crash happened around 4:10 p.m. on September 7 in the 7500 block of Gideon Street. Paramedics rushed Stephanie to a local hospital for emergency treatment, but doctors could not save her. She died a short time later from her injuries.
Stephanie was a beloved daughter, family member, and friend whose sudden death shattered those closest to her. Her family now faces the heavy burden of planning a funeral instead of spending everyday moments together.
Friends and neighbors remember Stephanie as someone who brought light and warmth into every room. The small conversations, shared laughs, and daily routines they once took for granted are now precious memories.
Her death leaves a massive hole in the Shreveport community. People who knew her are struggling to make sense of how someone could hit a person and simply drive off into the afternoon.
Grief has hit her family hard, bringing a mix of shock, deep sadness, and anger. They are leaning on each other for support while trying to navigate life without her physical presence.
While time moves on, Stephanie’s impact on her loved ones will not fade. Those who knew her best plan to keep her memory alive while they wait for justice to be served in her case.
