JSO says ‘no further information’ needed in deadly Moncrief Road hit-and-run; no arrests announced

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Days after the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said it was looking for a person of interest in a deadly hit-and-run Friday night, the agency said Tuesday that “no further information is needed.”

No arrest has been announced yet, but JSO said it is working with the State Attorney’s Office in the ongoing investigation.

“We want to thank our community and media partners in disseminating this information,” JSO said.

A man in his 50s who was riding a push scooter was hit Friday night by two cars on Moncrief Road.

One of the vehicles, a white SUV, sped away from the scene.

Police said the incident happened around 8:55 p.m. when the man on the scooter was hit by a car that was making a left turn into a business.

JSO said the driver didn’t see the man on the scooter, and the impact of the crash threw the man into the roadway. Officials said a white SUV then struck the man and sped away.

The scooter rider was taken to a hospital, where he died.

JSO said the first driver who struck the man will not face any charges, but they were looking for the driver of the white SUV.

On Saturday, JSO released a photo of a person of interest. He was described as a man in his 50s.

Police then said Tuesday that they didn’t need any more information in the case.
