Isaiah Irizarry, 15, Remembered After Fatal Electric Scooter Hit-and-Run Crash in Viera, Florida
Isaiah Irizarry, 15, died after a vehicle struck their electric scooter near Viera Boulevard and Independence Avenue in Viera, Florida, shortly before 4 a.m. during Father’s Day weekend.
The Florida Highway Patrol said a 2009 Hyundai Genesis traveled east, entered the outer shoulder, struck the scooter’s right side, and left the scene.
Emergency responders transported Isaiah to Arnold Palmer Hospital, where Isaiah later died from their injuries.
Isaiah had gone with a best friend to purchase a slushie from a nearby 7-Eleven, and the friend called emergency services and performed CPR under a dispatcher’s guidance.
Isaiah recently received a Florida identification card, registered as an organ donor, and brought joy and laughter to those around them.
Isaiah’s aunt and legal guardian, Deanna Irizarry, had been pursuing adoption, while Isaiah prepared to begin sophomore year at Viera High School.
Troopers recovered a passenger-side mirror linked to a black 2009–2010 Hyundai Genesis and found a damaged matching vehicle about 1.5 miles south.
Authorities arrested 19-year-old Melbourne resident Aidan Perry on a charge of leaving a crash involving a death, and the investigation remained ongoing as of October 20, 2026.
