JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Months after a man was hit and died from injuries sustained in a September hit-and-run, the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> arrested and charged a driver accused of leaving the scene without offering aid.<\/p>\n

A man was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of a crash months after a fatal hit-and-run incident in September.<\/p>\n

According to the arrest report for Kerry Edwards, on Sept. 25, 2025, Michael Marshall was hit by a car as he was walking across Moncrief Road near the Myrtle Avenue intersection.<\/p>\n

The report said Marshall was also outside of the designated crosswalk when a Mazda CX-9 hit him.<\/p>\n

JSO identified Edwards as the driver, and he was taken into custody. He was released on Oct. 3, but according to the arrest report, Edward\u2019s charges were initially dropped because of \u201cthe inability to locate the victim in order to proceed with prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall was taken to the hospital and put under hospice care for lung cancer complications and injuries from the crash, but he died on January 4. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was unknown at the time that the victim was still receiving hospital care,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

The medical examiner\u2019s office listed his cause of death as \u201cstruck by motor vehicle and subsequent fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the findings of the Medical Examiner, the injuries sustained by Mr. Marshall during the traffic crash were determined to be a contributing cause of his death,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Another arrest warrant was issued for Edwards under the charge of leaving the scene of a crash without rendering aid (resulting in death).<\/p>\n

His bond was $50,003.<\/p>\n
