A Portland man and his new wife were killed in two separate hit-and-run accidents in Las Vegas just days after they eloped.

Kevin Hills, a prominent Portland antique dealer, was hit by a passing semi-truck while trying to change a tire on a Las Vegas highway last Thursday. He was killed and the driver of the truck just kept going.

After Hills was hit, his bride of three days was also struck by another semi-truck while she was trying to flag down traffic for help. That driver didn’t stop either, police said.

Melanie Hills, of Portland, is spending this week in Northern California planning her brother’s funeral.

“It's very heartbreaking and we're in shock,” Melanie said.

The loss is difficult already, but made worse by the nature of the crimes. Four truck drivers were being questioned in the case and police said one of them was found cleaning evidence off his rig.

“It’s pretty conclusive evidence that that vehicle was involved and did at least try to make it appear that he was not," said.

But even with that, no one has been arrested, no one charged.

"I feel for him I feel for his family. I hope he comes forth and apologizes...for what ever he has done so at least we know he has a heart," Kevin's father Ken Hills said.

Hills recently moved to Southern California where he met his wife but he still called the Northwest home.

Funeral services for Kevin will be held in Grass Valley, Calif. this weekend.
