CLERMONT -- Family and friends turned out to remember a 14-year-old who was killed by a hit-and-run driver.

More than 100 people turned out for a special vigil for Megan Hensley.

The vigil took place at the crash site off County Road 565A.

Rhonda Conrad, the victim's mother, told supporters she believed her daughter was watching over them.

“Thank you for your support and your blessings and your prayers and everything. My daughter would have really appreciated it. I'm sure she's looking down on us now and seeing everybody, knowing that she was loved by so many,” said Conard.

Florida Highway Patrol said no one has come forward to take responsibility for the crime.

However, investigators said they are talking to a person of interest who also owns a black Nissan Xterra that was recovered Saturday in Hillsborough County.

Calling hours for Hensley will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday at Becker Funeral Home in Clermont.

The funeral will be Tuesday at 10:30 a.m., also at Becker Funeral Home.
