The lawn service worker killed Friday when a van apparently jumped a curb and struck him on Greenwich has been identified as Ramon Martinez-Limon, 31.
The van left with the worker's body still atop the van, police said.
The victim is from Mexico and investigators had to check with multiple agencies, including some in Mexico, to confirm the man's name, police Lt. Joe Schroeder said. Police had initially said the victim was 32.
Elizabeth Hotaling, office manager with Commercial Lawn Management, which employed Martinez-Limon, said: "We have lost a valued employee to a devastating accident. We are all shocked and saddened. ...
"At this time, our focus is on being as supportive as possible to the family and our employees. Our hearts and prayers go out to them," Hotaling said.
"Ramon was an extremely hard-working, dedicated and very reliable employee ... and we miss him terribly."
The business has spoken with his family, and they have asked that the relatives' privacy be respected, Hotaling said.
Martinez-Limon has a brother and cousin in the area, Schroeder said.
Martinez-Limon was working in a grassy area along Greenwich near Douglas about 7:14 a.m. Friday, when it appears the van went over the curb and struck and killed him on impact, Schroeder has said.
Police said the van continued driving for three miles with the body atop the van. Police found the heavily damaged van, with the body still on it, in a driveway at the driver's home in the 1500 block of Krug, near 13th Street and 127th East.
The driver, a 67-year-old doctor identified in records as Mohammad Sarrafizadeh, or M.S. Sarrafizadeh, has been released from jail after being booked on suspicion of leaving the scene of a fatal accident, police said.
It could be a month or more before police present their investigative findings to prosecutors, who would decide if any charges should be filed.
Hotaling, the lawn service office manager, said, "To the best of our knowledge, Ramon was a documented, legal" employee.
She said the business complies with government requirements on work eligibility, "and proper documents were presented and forms completed at the time he was hired."
