Sad times at O'Shea's Irish Pub in West Palm Beach where a member of the staff is dead.
Police say 28-year-old Connor Blais was killed while riding his electric scooter home from a shift at the bar early Monday morning. They say a driver struck him and fled the scene.
Manager Jake Stanton spoke with CBS 12 News.
"Before I left here around midnight I said 'Bye, I'll see you tomorrow.' And I wake up this morning and he's not here. It's very very sad."
He describes Blais as a "ball of fun," saying everyone loved him.
"People are speechless, in a dark place. (They) don't know what to do, whether to be upset, whether to remember his good times and a have a laugh and a joke. It's kind of mixed emotions here right now."
The man had worked at the pub for about a year and a half.
Stanton urges the driver to come forward. Police are doing the same.
Investigators believe the suspect vehicle may have damage to its front end or passenger side as a result of the collision.
Police want to hear from anyone who may have doorbell cam video from the area of South Olive Avenue in the Southend neighborhood.
