An Augusta man became the city’s latest pedestrian to be killed, a growing problem that led to over a dozen deaths last year.

Tony Maurice Walker, 38, was trying to cross Deans Bridge Road just after midnight Friday when he was struck by a vehicle. He was pronounced dead at 12:33 a.m. Friday, Coroner Mark Bowen said.

Walker was being remembered online by friends and family. “Tony was a good person and full of life,” said MizLe Le on Facebook.

“He was in such good spirit last time I seen him. Gave me the biggest hug,” Janel Thomas said.

At least two other pedestrians have died in Richmond County this year, including the April 4 death of Guatemala native Filadelfo Raul Chiquin-Jalal on Gordon Highway and the Feb. 4 death of Augusta resident Eric L. Jenkins on Peach Orchard Road.

Last year, the coroner sent out press releases on 17 pedestrian deaths.
