The mother of a young child who tragically lost her life in a hit-and-run incident at an apartment complex last week is appealing for justice, as reported by ABC Houston affiliate KTRK.

“If you hit her, if you seen anything, or seen who hit her, please, just say something,” mother Allana Gray said.

Gray recounted that she was running errands on Wednesday while Egypt’s father was supervising her and her 4-year-old sibling as they played on the steps of their apartment in Houston, Texas. He briefly went inside to get his phone and, upon turning to return, encountered their 4-year-old child.

“My son was hurrying up the stairs, and (the father) asked, ‘Where is your sister?’ From the top of the stairs, there’s a clear view of the parking lot, and he mentioned that when he looked, he saw her,” Gray explained.

Gray got the frantic call about what happened just as she was coming home, and pulled in to chaos. People had come out of their homes at the commotion, and at some point, police were called because a family member was allegedly confronting people with a firearm.

Despite all the commotion, Gray was focused on one thing.

“When I seen my baby, I almost passed out,” Gray said.

Someone told her they called an ambulance, but Gray says she couldn’t wait. Gray details a grueling car ride with Egypt’s father trying to resuscitate her. Egypt was pronounced dead at the hospital, and Gray said she was put in cuffs.

“They detained me; they detained me. They put me in handcuffs. They put me in the back of a police car, and I didn’t even get to say goodbye to my baby. I didn’t even get to kiss her,” Gray said.

Gray said blood got on the car when she pulled up to the scene, making police suspicious of her involvement. Through receipts from her earlier errands, she said she was able to prove to police she was not home at the time of the accident, and she was released.

“I didn’t leave the hospital until 5 in the morning. The entire time, I spent my time in the back of the police car,” Gray said.

Back home, she’s left to hold onto the memories of her daughter and wonder how no one could take responsibility for what happened.

“She was smart. She was funny. She had a big attitude She had a big personality; she was so loving and caring. She was a protector,” Gray said.

Gray said the whole thing happened in a second. She said her children were always supervised and never left in dangerous situations.

Gray said she now wants to see movement in the case. She said her 4-year-old son, a witness to the tragedy, has yet to be interviewed by police.

Police told KTRK there is no update in the case. They have yet to share information about a vehicle or person of interest.
