Nassau County Police in New York said he was walking on the road between Roslyn Road and Raff Avenue Friday evening around 6:PM when he was hit by a vehicle heading northbound.

There was not a decent description of the suspect’s vehicle.
Nicki hasn’t spoken on her dad’s death yet. There are shots of them together embracing over the years, so they obviously had a decent relationship and saw each other from time to time.
It’s unclear what her relationship with her dad was in recent times.
A representative of the musician confirmed her dad’s death, but did not have further comment at this time.
Mr Maraj was 64.
