JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA — New details are emerging about the man accused of hitting and killing 13-year-old Genesis Webber and then leaving the scene.
Police arrested 54-year-old Andre Myers just one day after the deadly crash on Arlington Road.
Our First Coast News team has been digging into his past and uncovered information that raises serious questions about why he was ever behind the wheel in the first place.
“He went on his way thinking he got away with it, but you can run, but you can’t hide,” said Ken Jefferson, First Coast News crime and safety expert.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Myers was found asleep in his truck late Wednesday night, wearing a GPS monitor and out on bond from a crime back in June.
An arrest report from June 1 of 2025 shows Myers was charged with aggravated assault for trying to run over a man with his car at a car wash on Lem Turner Road.
The report said he chased the man around the parking lot, threatened to kill him then drove his car at him.
According to court records, Myers also has a lengthy rap sheet that spans back nearly three decades, including battery, speeding violations and at least six charges of driving with suspended license.
Despite his long traffic history, JSO says Myers was out of jail and driving again.
Jefferson said this should have never happened.
