Atlantic Beach man involved in domestic dispute before he was hit & killed by SUV

Jacksonville, FL — Officers were first called to the area because of a domestic dispute.

Now traffic homicide detectives have taken over after a 50-year-old Atlantic Beach man is hit and killed by a sport utility vehicle near Naval Station Mayport.

Darrell McKenzie died at UF Health around an hour after he was run over by a 2003 white Chevy Suburban last night on the 4500 block of Ocean Street/A1A near Pearl Street.

The crash report shows he was laying across the northbound lanes when the SUV - which was going northbound - ran him over around 10 p.m. Sunday.

Charges are pending against the driver - a 22-year-old Atlantic Beach woman - until JSO completes its investigation. She wasn't taken to the hospital by paramedics, per the report.

Investigators believe McKenzie was being restrained by family members due to his mental well-being just before the accident, but the report doesn't specify what exactly the fight was about.
