Investigators said Van Ohlen was where he was supposed to be early Saturday morning, riding in the clearly marked bike lane along Grand Street near Manhattan Avenue when he was struck and killed.
"It's a tragedy that someone feels they can take his life and drag them," Williamsburg resident Kate Manning said. "I'm just gonna cry thinking about it."

Police said the black Camaro had dark-tinted windows and was last seen traveling eastbound shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Saturday.
