DEERFIELD BEACH, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2024) — 35-year-old Chase Kellerman of Pompano Beach turned himself in to BSO for the deadly hit-and-run that killed a homeless man in Deerfield Beach.

The day following a tragic hit and run incident in Deerfield Beach that claimed the life of a pedestrian, the driver voluntarily surrendered himself to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

As per the findings of BSO’s Traffic Homicide Unit detectives, it was around midnight on Sunday, February 4th when a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling southbound on South Federal Highway in the left lane and collided with a male pedestrian who was crossing the road outside of a designated crosswalk.
