Jogger dies two years after Miramar hit-and-run crash; suspect still sought

A woman left severely injured after she was struck by a hit-and-run driver two years ago in Miramar has died, according to her husband’s post on social media announcing funeral arrangements.

It was just before dawn on April 6, 2024 when someone struck Onyxia Delinois as she was jogging eastbound on Miramar Parkway near Southwest 184th Avenue.

Police said the car fled the scene after the crash. Despite the efforts of loved ones and the victim’s husband, authorities have not been able to locate the driver.

Nearly a year after the crash, Roosevelt Delinois told NBC6 how he cared for his wife after she was left with severe brain injuries. It took seven months in the hospital and numerous surgeries before she was able to return home, where her husband gave her around-the-clock care.

A South Florida man is sharing his pain as he cares for his severely injured wife nearly a year after she was struck by a hit-and-run driver while jogging in Miramar, as police continue their search for whoever was behind the wheel.

It was just before dawn on April 6, 2024 when someone struck Onyxia Delinois as she was jogging eastbound on Miramar Parkway near Southwest 184th Avenue.

“This has been the hardest thing that I’ve ever had to do,” Roosevelt Delinois said at the time. “I’m pretty devastated that this happened to her.”

Onyxia Delinois could not walk or speak and relied on a feeding tube.

“The doctors are saying that the brain injuries are too severe for her to make a full recovery, so I don’t know what recovery looks like for her, I don’t know if she will be able to recover,” her husband said. “I’m hoping that the community says something, I’m hoping that we can hold this person accountable.”
