7-year-boy killed in hit-and-run near ABQ BioPark

A 7-year-old Pronoy Bhattacharya, his 4-year-old brother Rheet, mother Deepshikha Chowdhury and her husband, Aditya Bhattacharya, were crossing Central at Tingley, using the crosswalk with the walk signal illuminated. They had parked their vehicle some distance away and were walking to the ABQ BioPark.
It was about 8:30 pm and suddenly an off-road vehicle blew through a red light, striking Pronoy and his father. The vehicle fled west on Central.
While Pronoy, a kind-hearted and precocious second-grader at Georgia O’Keeffe Elementary School, died at the scene, His father suffered facial fractures and other injuries. Pronoy's mother was a medic who lived in the UK around the year 2005. One of his parents has an origin in Kolkata, India. 
In the hours following the crash, APD released grainy photos taken from a security camera that showed the gray or dark-colored vehicle on Central. Tips poured in and officers found the suspect vehicle without the driver in the 200 block of 65th NW. Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers is now offering $3,500 for information that leads to an arrest.
Pronoy attended Montessori ONE Academy, until last year had begun second grade at Georgia O’Keeffe Elementary School in the fall.
In a statement, Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent Scott Elder said “all of us at APS, especially Pronoy’s teachers, staff and friends at Georgia O’Keeffe, will miss him dearly.”
According to Chowdhury the school had identified her son Pronoy as gifted and he was going to be moved to a gifted class. She said he was brilliant, but beyond that he was incredibly kind and loving.
For Chowdhury, the moments around the crash are a blur. She remembers holding hands with her younger son and walking a little ahead of Pronoy and his father, who were also holding hands. Then she heard some kind of sound – maybe a thud, definitely not a honk – and turned around to see her husband down in the road. Her son’s body was some distance away where it had been flung or dragged by the speeding vehicle.
