The boy’s family identified him as Taha Khan. His parents were home at the time. His father was talking to a neighbor.
“Looking out the windows and seeing my son dying in front of my house,” recalled his mother, Misbah Khan.
It’s unclear why the boy was in the street.
Taha Khan, 5, died after being struck twice by two cars on Chicago’s Far Northwest Side on August 10, 2022.
Within seconds Taha’s parents were at his side; they had heard the unmistakable sound of the impact.
“He’s not responding when we touch him. We call his name. Other people give him CPR. I’m just panicking, praying that, please ambulance, please come,” said Misbah Khan, mother.

Khan’s father said Taha was shy but starting to come out of his shell. He would have turned 6 next month, and was looking forward to starting kindergarten.
