Aaron Matej was 36 when he was struck by a vehicle and killed while walking near 13th Street North and 183rd Street West in Goddard, Kansas, in the early morning of June 14, 2015. Friends found him lying in the road at about 2:15 a.m.; he was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Eyewitnesses told investigators the fleeing vehicle was a black and tan Ford Ranger pickup. Investigators located a truck matching that description and identified its driver, but no arrest was made and no name has been publicly released. The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office later called the investigation cold after scientific methods and available leads were exhausted.

Aaron’s family has continued public appeals and placed a white cross at the scene to remember him. Anyone who saw or remembers anything from that night is asked to come forward with information.
