Families Seek Justice and Support in Tragic Hit-and-Run and Fallen Officer Cases

The family of Roderick "Kito" Jackson, a National Grid worker who was killed in a hit-and-run incident, is seeking justice and answers. Jackson died alongside a police officer when Peter Simon allegedly crashed into them at a construction detail in Waltham. The family is considering filing a civil lawsuit against Simon, who has a lengthy criminal record. They want to hold him accountable and ensure that such incidents do not happen again. Additionally, they are planning to establish a scholarship fund in Jackson's memory to support individuals from less fortunate backgrounds.
