Leonardo Gil Accident: What Happened To Him?

The young man worked at the Hialeah Hospital and was a popular tiktoker.

Leonardo Gil Fraga, a Cuban who worked at the Hialeah hospital and was also a popular tiktoker, died on January 25 after being hit by a hit-and-run car next to his motorcycle.

Gil Fraga was driving his motorcycle back home after a work shift when after 9 p.m. on Tuesday (local time) a car left him lying in the middle of the street without giving him first aid or calling the emergency services.

“We are very sad because he was only 34 years old,” said Katiuska Fernández, the young man’s aunt, in statements to 7News.

“The only thing we know is that he left it on the street and left,” added the grieving woman, who specified that the accident took place somewhere on LeJeune Road, near 21st Street.

Leonardo Gil’s body was found by a 911 caller. He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital but died a short time later from his injuries.

“The family was not prepared for the loss of this loving, kind, and selfless young man. He leaves behind a large, loving, and united family that includes his young son”, specifies the text attached to an account opened on the fundraising platform GoFundMe asking for help to cover funeral expenses.

His family and friends point out that Leonardo Gil loved to make others smile, something remarkable on his TikTok account, where he had almost 100,000 followers.

Leonardo Gil had arrived from Cuba more than a decade ago. He first worked at Hialeah Hospital as a janitor. He later became a stretcher bearer and eventually became an endoscopy technician.

To make matters worse, the young man died on the same day as his grandmother’s 79th birthday, who now begs to find the culprit of taking her grandson’s life.

Anyone with information about this hit-and-run case should call the Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
