Mendoza had seven daughters, and is also a grandfather and great-grandfather. On Thursday, one of them said the family hadn't planned to be together this Thanksgiving because of the COVID-19 pandemic but they are now trying to support each other through the tragedy.
Another press conference was held Sunday to reaffirm the call for action and increase the reward to $5,000.
"It doesn't matter if it's going to be today or tomorrow, five years from now, 10 years from now; we need justice," daughter Leticia Torres said. "We have questions, and we're not going to let go of this until we find the answers."
Mendoza was hit by a gray GMC SUV, Chicago police said.
