Darryl Lindsey, 59, was walking home from church three years ago when he was hit and killed along Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. The driver who hit him didn’t call 911 until he got home.
Action News Jax has been pressing law enforcement for answers ever since his death. The driver was never charged with a crime.
Due to our three-year investigation, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office eventually released the 911 calls associated with Lindsey’s death.
The calls revealed JSO did not dispatch a patrol car to the scene, which is against JSO protocol . A dispatcher was disciplined as a result and later stepped down.
