Chase Kellerman, 35, is facing a charge of leaving the scene of a crash involving death, Broward Sheriff's Office officials said Friday.
The crash happened around 12:15 a.m. Sunday when the pedestrian, Jermaine Arguinzoni, was crossing the roadway in an undesignated crosswalk area in the 1400 block of South Federal Highway.
Arguinzoni was struck by a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Kellerman, who left the scene, officials said.
