"It was just a gut punch to this family. We want to try and find out why. Why was this lady out on the street? Where was she coming from? What had she been doing?" said attorney Stephen Cain.
Lawyers retained by Oriscar's family say they are also looking into a police chase moments before the crash.
According to North Bay Village Police, they tried to stop Alexandre-Little on the 79th Street causeway for speeding, but she refused to stop.
The arrest report says "North Bay Village then terminated their pursuit of the defendant at Pelican Harbor and returned to their city."
North Bay Village Police tell NBC 6 they have a "no pursuit policy".
Oriscar's family says they cannot afford funeral expenses and they are hoping the community will help them in their time of need.
