Cape Cod Police Renew Appeal in Unsolved Hit-and-Run That Killed Army Veteran

Authorities are asking the public for tips to help prosecutors follow leads developed through grand-jury interviews and court-authorized vehicle searches.

Overview

  • Timothy Duval Jr., a 24-year-old Army veteran from Tallahassee, was fatally struck while visiting Wellfleet and his body was found on Ocean View Drive after he separated from friends.
  • Wellfleet police and the Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office say the case remains open more than a year later and no criminal charges have been announced.
  • Investigators have brought about a dozen witnesses before a grand jury and executed court-authorized examinations of multiple vehicles as part of the probe.
  • Police believe the striking vehicle was a pickup truck or SUV with front-end damage that likely fled the scene, and they are seeking anyone who saw such a vehicle in the area.
  • Authorities urged residents to call Wellfleet Detective Jack Poska at 508-349-2100 with tips, saying new information could advance the investigation and help provide closure for Duval’s family.
