JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Family members have identified the man killed in a hit-and-run while crossing Cleveland Road in Jacksonville as Darnell Pittmon, 65.
On Wednesday night, loved ones held a vigil to remember him. Detectives have not released a description of the vehicle or the driver, and the family hopes someone who saw something will speak up.
“Please come forward,” said Pittmon’s sister, Marie. “Have a heart. Have mercy. We’re suffering.”
The vigil was held near Cleveland Road and Edgewood Avenue, where Pittmon was killed Sunday night. Family members, friends and loved ones sang and prayed for answers in the man’s death.
