Ronald McKellar, 53, was hit one week ago at 72nd Street and Pacific Avenue in Tacoma - and dragged almost to 64th Street, a distance of nearly a mile.

Ronald McKellar's family has set up a memorial for him near the site where he was killed by a hit-and-run driver.

Tacoma police still have no suspects or even a description of the suspect's vehicle. After a week, there's very little information from witnesses and detectives are frustrated in their search.

For McKellar's family, there's hurt, confusion, anger about how he died and that the person responsible has yet to step forward.

"They should come forward and face the music," says McKellar's son, Donald Cundiff. "It's soulless, is all I can say."

Tacoma police say McKellar left a neighborhood tavern late last Saturday night.

While trying to cross Pacific Avenue at South 72nd Street, a hit-and-run vehicle slammed into him. He was dragged at least eight blocks after a piece of his clothing or possibly his backpack latched onto the car.

"Ohhh, he loved his life," says the victim's daughter, July McKellar. "It was always about other people. It was never about him. My dad never asked for handouts. That's just the type of person he was."

His family says he lived on the streets - roaming from one place to another. But that he enjoyed life.

"Some people called my dad indigent. ... I didn't like that at all," says Cundiff. "He just didn't like to stay in one place, and that made him happy."

This has also been a rough week for Debbie Eagle. She considered Ronald McKellar a good friend, they traveled in the same circles.

"It could happen to anybody," she says. "Could happen to, you know, anybody - not just because of where we're at."

So with messages of goodbye near the scene of something so awful - they wait for someone to admit their wrongdoing, and remember a man they truly loved.

"He was my dad, and he was always there for me," says July McKellar. "That's what i'm going to remember. Happy times."

Police say they're eager to speak with a man who was driving a gray Jeep the night of the hit and run. He apparently saw something at 72nd and Pacific, and detectives need to know if that might help the investigation.
