JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Police are investigating after a man was found dead in the road in Mandarin early Sunday morning.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the man's body was found in the 3100 block of Ricky Drive just before 4 a.m.
JSO identified the man as Ryan Scott McKeller, 24, of St. Johns. Officers said it appears McKeller may have been struck by a vehicle.
A police report obtained by Action News Jax Monday reveals McKeller was found dead underneath a parked car.
Parts of a white car, including a mirror and windshield wiper, were found along Ricky Drive near McKeller's body, according to that police report. At this time, investigators have not released an exact car description.
Ricky Drive between Anamoree Lane and Ricky Way was closed for several hours as police investigated on Sunday.
