INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis father is sharing a message for those who are going through troubling situations after a hit and run incident left his daughter dead.
29-year-old Kayla Bowling’s life will now be forever ingrained by pictures and by memories.
“Dad loves you and he misses you,” Robert Bowling, Kayla’s father, said.
A growing memorial marks the location where Kayla was struck by a hit and run driver on June 1.
“Once we saw who it was – we knew it just wasn’t a hit and run,” Bowling said.
Court documents reveal that that Kayla’s ex-boyfriend was arrested in the case.
“When we found who it was – we knew it was him,” Bowling added.
Bowling's family members told police the suspect, Bowling's ex-boyfriend, had been stalking and harassing her. He also slashed her vehicle's tires days before, according to the family.
“I seen the knife in his hand [and] I told my daughter to go in the house,” Bowling said.
At the same time, Robert Bowling has a message for anyone in a troubled relationship.
“If you can get away, stay away,” Bowling said.
