Andrew Lee Jobson, a 34-year-old White male, was killed in the early-morning hours of May 14, 2023, after a hit-and-run on Alabama Highway 275 near Allen Street in Talladega. Reports say officers were dispatched at about 1:05 a.m. and arrived to find him lying partially in the roadway on the northbound side. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and authorities identified him as a Munford resident.
In the public reporting that followed, the case was described not as a simple crash but as a sudden, violent moment on a dark stretch of road, with the driver gone before police got there and investigators left to piece together what had happened from the scene he left behind.
What is publicly available online paints the picture of an investigation that began with more questions than answers. Talladega police said they were trying to determine who was behind the wheel and what vehicle struck Jobson, and Crime Stoppers later publicized the case as an unsolved fatal hit-and-run. Authorities asked for tips and offered a cash reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the person responsible, a sign that investigators believed someone in the community might know more than had yet been said. Even with that appeal, the publicly accessible reporting does not appear to name a suspect, describe an identified vehicle in detail, or lay out a clear sequence beyond the fact that Jobson was struck and the driver fled.
Online sources that remain available also do not show any announced arrest, filed criminal charge, trial, or conviction tied to his death. Later reference material that tracks Alabama homicides and major fatal cases continues to list the incident as a hit-and-run with no arrest reported, which suggests the case was still publicly unresolved in the sources located. Outside the investigation, obituary notices remembered Jobson in a much quieter way, saying he liked skating, music, off-road riding, and spending time with his daughter, details that stand in painful contrast to the way his life ended on the roadside in Talladega that May morning.
