The mother of a 13-year-old boy who was killed in a hit-and-run in Edmonton is begging the driver to come forward.

The mother of a 13-year-old boy who was killed in a hit-and-run in Edmonton is begging the driver to come forward.

"I just want them to do the right thing and come forward and own up to their mistake and tell me why they didn't stop? Why they didn't at least call 911? Why somebody had to find a child lying like that?" Adam Edhi's mom Jessica Lynch told CTV News Edmonton on Thursday.

She says Adam, who preferred to be called AJ, was on his way to visit his girlfriend before school when he was struck while riding his bicycle early Wednesday morning.

She said he had been upset they hadn't gotten to see each other the night before and left without waking her.

He often visited her in the mornings, Lynch added, and although he normally took the bus, he likely didn't that morning because buses weren't running yet and he was excited for biking weather again.

"The little girl, she was on the phone with him on his way over and she heard everything," Lynch said.
