MACON, Ga. — A pedestrian is dead after getting hit and killed on I-75 south near the Hardeman Avenue exit in Macon.
It happened around 11 p.m. Monday night.
Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says 37-year-old Marquise Rashad Lawrence is from Fort Valley.
Jones says Lawrence's parents told him they have no idea why he was walking along the interstate in Macon, because he works in Byron and owns a car.
Jones says they're trying to locate Lawrence's 2003 Lincoln Navigator.
This is the second pedestrian death near the Hardeman Avenue exit this month.
In the case earlier this month, a woman was also hit and killed along I-75 north near Hardeman Avenue. Investigators still don't know who she was. Her fingerprints came back to someone who is still alive. Coroner Jones says that usually means the person was using a stolen identity.
A Twiggs County man was later arrested in that case for leaving the scene.
