The victim, who has not been identified, was taken by Hollywood Fire Rescue medics to Memorial Regional Hospital, where he later died.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">According to detectives, an investigation spanning multiple jurisdictions determined Kelvin Larmont Taylor, 50, was driving southbound on State Road 7 when he allegedly struck the victim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Authorities said Taylor did not stop, provide aid or notify law enforcement after the crash. Investigators said he fled the scene, leaving the victim in the roadway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Detectives said they used physical evidence, digital evidence, surveillance video and forensic findings to identify Taylor as the driver involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Jail records show Taylor was arrested on Thursday and faces one count of leaving the scene of a crash involving death. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">As of Tuesday, he was being held at the Joseph V. Conte Facility in Pompano Beach, where his bond was set at $125,000. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Ryan Mackey\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/author-service-images-sandbox-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/8725e99c-e445-48a0-bd.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Ryan Mackey <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Ryan Mackey is a Digital Journalist at WPLG.
