A $10,000 reward was being offered in Hampton's arrest.

Hawkins was struck in the lower body and Hampton fled the scene, authorities said.

Hawkins' sister, Tiarra, remembered him as a fighter as he endured more than eight hours of surgery, loved ones tell Daily Voice.

Hampton was being held without bond.
