A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run crash in Fort Lauderdale that killed a 70-year-old.
Travaris McCoy, of Fort Lauderdale, was identified by Fort Lauderdale Police as the driver of a 2018 White Dodge Ram 1500 that hit Johnnie Lee Davis as he was walking in the 400 block of West Sunrise Boulevard about 8 p.m. Monday and drove away from the scene.
Davis was pronounced dead when first responders arrived.
Fort Lauderdale Police have not released details about the investigation that led to the arrest of McCoy on Thursday. Court records were not available Friday afternoon.
McCoy remains in the Broward Main Jail. He faces charges of habitual driving while license is suspended, carrying a concealed firearm, failing to stop at the scene of an accident involving death, leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage and tampering with or fabricating evidence, jail records show.
McCoy has five other felony arrests in Broward County dating back to 2019, when he was arrested for aggravated fleeing and eluding at high speed and driving with a suspended license, court records show. His license had been suspended twice by 2019, according to a probable cause affidavit in that case.
In 2020, he was arrested on drug-related charges and, in one case, grand theft auto, for which he received a sentence of 36 months of state probation, court records show. He was last found to be driving with a suspended or revoked license in 2024 and was cited by Coconut Creek Police in June 2025 for unlawful speed and a learner’s driver’s license violation.
