Janice Pinelli, standing alongside her daughter Sierra, described what happened to her husband, Anthony Pinelli, on March 25th near 23rd Street and Broadway. Surveillance video shows Anthony on the ground after being struck by a car.
"The person that did this, they're still out there," Janice Pinelli said.
Sierra Pinelli said her father had been working before the crash.
"He was doing, I think, some type of graffiti removal, and he was packing up, ready to leave, and then that's when the car had hit him," she said.

Anthony Pinelli was in a coma for more than 30 days and continues to receive around-the-clock care, according to his family.
"He had to have a piece of his skull removed right away when they got there," Janice Pinelli said.
The family said Anthony Pinelli is scheduled for surgery Tuesday, though it may be delayed because of a respiratory illness.
Authorities said the vehicle involved was a stolen 2015 Hyundai Elantra taken from an owner based in San Rafael. There are at least half a dozen surveillance cameras on 23rd Street and police were able to identify the car but not the driver, who ran from the scene after abandoning the vehicle.
Janice Pinelli described the moment of impact.
"As the guy kept going, it threw my husband back and hit him in the back of the head and fractured his skull, shook his brain," she said.

She urged anyone with information to come forward.
"Please come forward with any information. Anybody that knows anything, any people that may have been in the car with this person, please come forward," she said.
The family said Anthony Pinelli has started to speak again but is experiencing memory loss.
"He doesn't know how he got there. He doesn't know why he's there. He doesn't really know who we are. He doesn't really know who he is," Janice Pinelli said.
Sierra Pinelli called her father "probably one of my best friends."
"For my husband, he was a happy, thriving, kind, generous person and we just want him home," Janice Pinelli added.
The family continues to seek information about the driver involved in the crash.
A GoFundMe has been set up to support Anthony Pinelli's recovery.
