This past Saturday evening at the Adams Motorsports Park in Jurupa Valley, a driver in a dark-colored sedan struck and killed Davidlee Furry and Celeste Dominquez both of Colton and drove off. Attending with other family members at the Park to see drift racers, both Davidlee and Celeste were hit from behind while crossing the street to go to a bathroom and then were pronounced dead at the scene. Celeste’s son Javi (7 years old) witnessed the whole occurrence and said, “It was terrible.” Another juvenile at the event was also hit and then was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, the juvenile was not Javi. Lauri Furry, Davidlee’s mother, was getting ready to move back to California from South Carolina because her only son had told her that he had found the love of his life and was going to ask her to marry him. While Lauri was packing to come out to California, she received a call from one of her daughters that both Davidlee and Celeste were involved in an accident and neither survived.
Both families of the young couple have come together to make the final arrangements for their children, and hope to capture the love that was evident between them at their final resting place. Davidlee’s loss will be surely missed by the entire Furry family, as he was the only male member among a family of four girls. The families are helping the investigators in asking anyone who may have seen the hit and run that night to contact the Sheriff’s Department at 951-776-1099. Lauri Furry has said, “There were a number of people out there and I think that someone should have saw something to report.”
