According to authorities, a father was detained after he allegedly dumped his 8-month-old son in the middle of a Florida intersection and then ran him over with his SUV, killing him.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Justin Golden, 20, is charged with k!lling the infant boy in Jacksonville after he and his female passenger got into an argument at around 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 25.
“The driver stopped the vehicle at the intersection, opened the door, and placed the child on the ground,” the sheriff’s office said.
“The driver then began to leave the area and the vehicle struck the child.”
Whether the female passenger was the boy’s mother was not immediately apparent.
But in the aftermath, horrified witnesses remembered seeing the distraught mom holding the baby in the middle of the street.
“The kid was bleeding,” Markin Barnes, who runs a barbershop across the street, told News4Jax. “So we immediately asked did she needed help.”
“Now that I’m finding out the details, it’s even worse,” he added in a separate interview with First Coast News. “Just the screaming, the people consoling her, you could tell it really was tragic.”
“Especially with a kid being that young,” Barnes continued. “It hits home. Anything dealing with the kids … we take very seriously.”
According to investigators, Golden was swiftly apprehended and charged with aggravated manslaughter and vehicular homicide for the horrifying experience. Golden allegedly fled the scene but was pursued by a witness.
The Duval County jail is where he is being kept at the moment.
According to the sheriff’s office, the horror is still being investigated.
