The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating a hit and run. Ryan Benk reports the victim was found lying in the roadway early Saturday morning.
Police responded to a call about a man lying in the road at the 800 block of Ocala Road. Emergency personnel attempted to revive fifty-one year old Joe Arnold, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene and autopsy results confirm that he was killed when he was struck by a vehicle. Police Department Spokesman David Northway is asking for assistance from the community.
“TPD is asking the community to help us out and if you were in the area of the 800 block of Ocala Road on Saturday morning around one A.M. to please give us a call. Please give us a call even if you were walking or saw a car that was suspicious or something like that or any information that you have and the phone number is 891 4200.”
Northway says police will continue to canvas the area for witnesses and possible security camera footage.
