Justin Golden, Jacksonville, Florida man places 8 month old baby son in middle of road then runs over boy, killing infant after fight with child’s mom, who was a passenger in the car. 

Florida father is accused of running over and killing his eight-month-old baby son, whom he placed in the middle of a busy intersection moments before running over the boy. The incident allegedly comes moments after the infant’s father becoming embroiled in an argument with the boy’s mother.

Justin Golden, 20, was driving in the intersection of Lenox and McDuff avenues in Jacksonville at around 11am on Saturday, when he allegedly got into an argument with the passenger, identified as the child’s mother, News 4 Jax reported.

‘The driver stopped the vehicle at the intersection, opened the door and placed the child on the ground,’ the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office stated in a Facebook release

‘Just the screaming, the people consoling her, you could tell it really was tragic’

‘The driver then began to leave the area and the vehicle struck the child.’

Golden fled the scene, before officers were able to locate him and take him into custody soon after.

Despite paramedics rushing the baby to the hospital, doctors pronounced the infant dead.

Markin Barnes, a father of twins, witnessed the violent act. 

He said he was working at his nearby barbershop when he heard a woman screaming, and ran outside. 

‘The kid was bleeding, so we immediately asked did she need help,’ the witness recalled,  noting that the driver had already fled the scene.

Barnes said he will never forget the image of the woman holding the bleeding baby.

‘Now that I’m finding out the details, it’s even worse,’ he told First Coast News. ‘Just the screaming, the people consoling her, you could tell it really was tragic.

‘Especially with a kid being that young,’ he said. ‘It hits home – anything dealing with the kids and you we take very seriously.’

Jacksonville police are continuing to investigate the incident, and have not yet clarified whether Golden ran over the child on purpose.

‘We, with our partners at the State Attorneys’ Office will stop at nothing to get justice for the baby,’ the sheriff’s office said. 

Golden is now facing charges of aggravated manslaughter, vehicular homicide and failing to render aid, and is being held at Duval County Jail without bond.
