A Florida man, 20-year-old Justin Golden, is behind bars after authorities confirmed he ran over an 8-month-old baby, resulting in the child’s death. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office reported the disturbing incident, which occurred after an argument between Golden and a female passenger in his vehicle.
According to the sheriff’s office, Golden was driving with the woman and baby in the car when the argument escalated. Golden allegedly got out of the car, placed the baby in the middle of an intersection, and deliberately ran over the child as he drove away.
The 8-month-old child did not survive the attack, leaving authorities and the community devastated. While it is unclear whether the baby was Golden’s child, he has been charged with aggravated manslaughter and vehicular homicide.
Police are currently investigating the cause of the argument between Golden and his passenger.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s office, said in a Facebook pos: “We, with our partners at the State Attorney’s Office, will stop at nothing to get justice for the baby.”
Golden is currently being held in custody as the investigation continues.
