Several days have passed since an unnamed woman allegedly struck and killed a man on Nassau Street and the Charlottesville Police Department continues to ask people to come forward with information.
“This case is still currently under investigation and Police Chief Michael Kochis will provide an update on Monday,” reads a press release sent out Thursday.
The release states that the update will be streamed on Facebook Live.
Police were called to the 700 block of Nassau Street in the Belmont-Carlton neighborhood on Saturday evening where they encountered 42-year-old Edward Fitzhugh Anderson who was pronounced dead on the scene. The driver of the car was on scene and claimed she was attacked but that she did know Anderson.
Several people have disputed this version of events on social media and in press accounts but those cannot be used in an official investigation. Now police want people with any evidence or information to come forward.
“Through the course of this investigation, we have been made aware of community members who have yet to come forward to speak with detectives but claim to have knowledge of this incident,” reads a press release sent out at 11:54 a.m. on Wednesday. “While our detectives will continue to work tirelessly to ensure a thorough investigation is completed, we are also calling on community members to come forward.”
Anonymous calls are welcomed at 434-977-4000.
