The search for the driver of the white Grand Cherokee, as of Sunday evening, remains ongoing, cops confirmed.

The victim’s mom, one of several relatives who arrived on the scene before Camilo could be taken away, expressed her and her family’s anguish to The Daily News.

‘The whole family felt a lot about her,’ the senior told the paper, in an interview translated from Spanish. ‘She called everyone her friend.’

The woman, asking not to be named, added : ‘She was very special, always with a smile even if she had a problem.’

Luis Morales, Camilo’s 80-year-old neighbor, painted a similar picture, describing  how the late Starbucks manager was always boisterous when he saw her around the building.

‘She was a very nice girl,’ Morales said, as multiple people presumed to be the victim’s family were left inconsolable in the streets.

‘Every time I saw her, ‘Good morning, sir. How are you? Have a good day,” he recollected. ‘Good sense of humor. Very lively. Very polite.’

He added how he was stunned to hear how she died, saying that she was always ‘very careful’ when crossing the street

‘I can’t believe it,’ he told the publication.

He also detailed the moment Camilo’s family found out about the fatal incident, revealing he could he could hear their anguish from next-door.

‘I heard the crying. Banging on the walls, yelling,’ he said, revealing Camilo  had four kids and worked as a Starbucks manager in Manhattan.

The driver of the second vehicle, meanwhile, was photographed by the News, but as of Sunday is not being charged.

He cooperated with cops at a hectic scene Saturday night, where many presumed to be Camilo’s family were seen being restrained by cops as the victim laid covered in the street.

The area was subsequently cordoned off, as many were overcome with grief.

As a search continues for the at-large Grand Cherokee, cops have yet to mention whether they have been able to pull a license plate.
