Army veteran with 3-year-old son identified as man killed in Wellfleet hit-and-run Saturday
The man killed in a hit-and-run late Saturday night in Wellfleet has been identified by police.
Timothy Duval, 24, of Tallahassee, Florida was a husband, and father of a 3-year-old son, according to a press release and post Monday evening on the Wellfleet police Facebook page.
The case is still under investigation, but no arrests have been made, the statement said.
Duval, an Army veteran, had been on vacation on Cape Cod and spending the night with a group of friends who he became separated from. He was killed walking along Ocean View Drive. In an earlier statement, police said they found Duvall after receiving a call about a pedestrian lying in the road and performed life-saving measures, but that Duval was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Investigators are urging members of the public, including residents, homeowners, and business owners in the area, to come forward with any information that may assist in the case," the statement Monday night said. "Surveillance footage, dashcam videos, or eyewitness accounts from the night of the incident could prove crucial in determining what happened and identifying those responsible."
The suspect vehicle is believed to be a pickup truck or SUV, police said, based on the location of the injuries. Information should be directed to Detective Michael Allen at 508-349-3702, according to the statement.

Massachusetts Governor demands answers after ICE arrests Milford High School student
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey took to social media Sunday evening to demand answers after ICE agents arrested a high school student heading to volleyball practice over the weekend. The student, 18-year-old Marcelo Gomes, is a junior at Milford High School in Milford, Massachusetts. In her post, Healey says she is "disturbed and outraged" and that she wants answers immediately explaining why the student was taken into immigration enforcement's custody. "I'm demanding that ICE provide immediate information about why he was arrested, where he is and how his due process is being protected," she s. In the post she blames the Trump admin for what she describes as an attempt to create fear. "The Trump Administration continues to create fear in our communities, and it's making us all less safe," her post states. In her statement, Healey claims that the student was detained on Saturday without any warning or subsequent explanation provided to state officials. "Yet again, local officials and law enforcement have been left in the dark with no heads up and no answers to their questions," she said. The community gathered to protest outside of Milford on Sunday. Hundreds demanded Gomes be set free and that ICE stop harassing members of their community. U.S. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, a Democrat who represents Milford in Congress, attended the protest and made note on X that Gomes was "enrolled in honors classes, a coaching assistant for girls volleyball [and] player for boys volleyball, and a member of the school band." "This administration has its public safety priorities backwards. It pardons cop-beaters from Jan. 6 but detains high-school volleyball players. It makes gun-purchaser background checks harder while pushing for tax breaks to buy silencers for pistols. This reckless behavior does not make the residents of Milford safer, and I stand with the community in support of law [and] order," he wrote. Milford School District Superintendent Kevin McIntyre says that Gomes' detention is one of many apprehensions to take place in the southern Massachusetts community. McIntyre says the district cannot take any role in immigration enforcement, but they will "support all of our students and families, including those who are immigrants to the United States." "They are members of the community, students in our classrooms, athletes that compete representing Milford, musicians, artists, friends, and neighbors. We will do everything in our power to support our students and families during these difficult times," he said in his statement. Sunday morning was Milford High School's graduation and Healey says a day of celebration has now been tarnished. "My heart goes out to the Milford community on what was supposed to be a celebratory graduation day," she said.
