Tragic Incident Shakes Jacksonville Community After Baby’s Death
JACKSONVILLE – A heart-wrenching incident has left the community of Jacksonville in shock following the death of an 8-month-old baby named Pablo Kye Golden. This tragedy occurred on the city’s Westside when the tiny infant was accidentally placed on the road, where he was subsequently struck by a vehicle. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) has since revealed that this incident has led to serious charges against a 20-year-old man.
Pablo’s Last Moments
Pablo was described as an adorable little boy with a joyful spirit, earning the affectionate title of “Big Man” from his maternal grandmother. With his big bubbly eyes and beautiful smile, he quickly became a treasured member of the family. Recently crawling and full of life, Pablo enjoyed playing with his big brother, Reign, and his 3-year-old cousin, sharing countless joyful moments that will now be deeply missed by his loved ones.
The Circumstances Behind the Incident
This tragic event unfolded around 10:40 a.m. on a Saturday morning at the intersection of McDuff and Lenox avenues. An argument reportedly broke out between Justin Golden, the baby’s relative, and a female passenger. Amid this altercation, Golden made the devastating decision to open the car door and place little Pablo on the ground, leaving him in harm’s way as he drove off with the female. Unfortunately, shortly after being placed there, Pablo was struck by the vehicle.
Emergency Response
Local witnesses expressed their horror at the scene, noting that the baby was bleeding and required immediate assistance. The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department raced to the scene and transported Pablo to a nearby hospital, where, tragically, he was pronounced dead. Heartache rippled through the community as news of the incident spread, leaving friends and family grappling with the heartbreaking loss.
Legal Consequences
In the wake of this tragic event, Justin Golden was arrested on multiple charges, including vehicular homicide, failing to render aid, and aggravated manslaughter of a child. Following the incident, he was booked into the Duval County Jail at approximately 6:22 p.m. the same day, as authorities sought to understand the complex circumstances leading up to the baby’s death. At present, it remains unclear whether Pablo was indeed Golden’s child or the exact cause of the argument that led to this heart-wrenching situation.
A Community Comes Together
While the family navigates this unimaginable heartache, they are also in the process of raising funds to cover funeral expenses for baby Pablo. Community support has been rallying as friends and family come together to honor the little boy they cherished so deeply. In times like these, love and unity often come to the forefront, reminding everyone of the importance of community in healing.
Seeking Justice for Pablo
The JSO has stated their commitment to seeking justice for the beloved child and are currently working alongside the State Attorney’s Office as the case unfolds. Witnesses and community members are encouraged to reach out if they have any relevant information that could assist in the investigation. As the next court date for Golden approaches on February 18 at 9 a.m., the community watches closely, hoping that justice will be served.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a solemn reminder of the fragility of life and the unforeseen circumstances that can lead to devastation in an instant. As Jacksonville mourns the loss of baby Pablo, the community joins together, hoping for peace and healing for his family.
