ANTIOCH, Calif. (KGO) -- Two teen boys who were killed in a hit-and-run crash in Antioch Friday night have been identified by the Contra Costa County Coroner's Office.

Arsenio Rabb, 12, and Amahje Amenike, 13, were driving with their dad last Friday just a few blocks from their home when an SUV crashed into them at West 6th and G streets.

The brothers were taken to the hospital where they were pronounced dead

The driver of the SUV ran from the scene and so far no arrests have been made.

Police said speed and reckless driving appear to be factors in the collision.

A GoFundMe account set up by teachers at Emenike's middle school in San Francisco on behalf of his mother had raised more than $3,800 as of Wednesday afternoon.

The site describes him as "the kind of person who made everyone around him smile. A smart, kind, funny kid with a bright future. He was a great athlete and a good sport. A wonderful friend and teammate. A beloved brother and son."

Anyone with information is asked to call Lieutenant Rick Martin at 925-779-6972 or the Antioch Police Department non-emergency line at (925)778-2441.
