Charlottesville Police detectives continue to gather evidence in a fatal accident that occurred after a man allegedly attacked a woman in the 700 block of Nassau Street on July 6.
Detectives are asking additional witnesses to come forward. Police say they are aware of community members who claim to have knowledge about the incident but have not spoken to detectives.
Edward Fitzhugh Anderson died on July 6 at 7:34 p.m. after an adult female allegedly struck him with her vehicle, CPD reported in a news release.
The adult female, who remained on scene and has not been named, reported to police that Anderson had attacked her when she was in her parked vehicle. As she attempted to flee, she told police, Anderson was struck by her vehicle.
Police said at the time that the attack appeared unprovoked, and the parties did not know each other.
There were no immediate charges after the incident.
However, after a complete investigation, the case will be turned over to the Commonwealth Attorney’s office for a decision on any potential charges.
Police request anyone with firsthand knowledge or video of the incident to come forward.
