The daughters of a pedestrian who was hit and killed in Las Vegas are speaking out.

Beverly Gross, 55, was walking on the sidewalk Tuesday near West Cheyenne Avenue and North Rainbow Boulevard when a car jumped the curb and hit her.

She later died at a local hospital.

The car's driver, Martha Aceto, was ticketed.

Gross' daughters said the tickets were not enough, and they want justice for their mother's death.

“I think it's only fair they do something about it. A couple of tickets for a life -- that's not fair," said Stephanie Ledford.

There has been no word yet on any formal charges.

Gross leaves behind five daughters and 14 grandchildren.
