BOSTON -- A Level 3 sex offender who was riding a bike in Lawrence Thursday night was struck and killed by a driver who allegedly fled the scene, according to the Eagle Tribune.
Robert Lagasse, 43, of Lawrence, was riding a bike at about 6:30 p.m. on Merrimack Street when he was struck by a blue 2008 Jeep Cherokee, the newspaper reported. He was flown to Boston Medical Center, where he died Friday morning.
A man driving a taxicab behind the Jeep witnessed the crash, wrote down the license plate number and brought it to police. Lawrence police Chief John Romero said the car was traced to a rental company in Methuen.
Police questioned a man who said that he rented the car for a female friend who lives in Salem, N.H. Officials are searching for the vehicle that has Massachusetts license plate 83F S93.
The victim was a Level 3 sex offender who was convicted in 1989 of two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, the newspaper reported.
First, why isn't the dude that hit him in jail for vehicular manslaughter? I mean is it that easy? I wasn't driving officer, I gave it to an unnamed person.. ok, you're free to go??? What the fuck is that?
We will probably see him go up for murder real soon. (eyes rolling)... And what difference does it make to report him as a level 3 sex offender TWICE in the story? He was someone's husband, someone's father, someone's son.. why don't you report that? No, that just makes us appear as we really are. Real live PEOPLE, not the animals you lie to others about.
You have just emboldened everyone with the idea to harm us, to watch and see what happens to the driver. If the driver gets off, or is not found, I fear you will see more 'accidents'.
