JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 A man accused in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed a teenage girl in Arlington<\/a> is expected to appear in court Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Andre Myers, 54, is accused of hitting and killing 13-year-old Genesis Webber on Sept. 30. He is expected to be officially charged and enter his plea in Duval County court on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Webber was walking home from school along the sidewalk next to Arlington Road when, according to police, Myers was driving a truck that jumped a curb and struck the teenage girl. Police said he then left her lying on the sidewalk. <\/p>\n

A passerby found her and called for help, but by the time police arrived, the girl had already died.<\/p>\n

Shardae Webber, Genesis Webber\u2019s mother, told News4JAX her daughter was full of faith, loved sports, and dancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe had a lot of energy, everybody was attracted to her, like as soon as you saw her, her eyes were everything. She was beautiful, she was smart,\u201d Shardaw Webber said. \u201cShe was not scared; she was fearless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surveillance video captured the crash, and police said evidence quickly pointed to Myers. Authorities said he was already out on bond for felony charges and wearing an ankle monitor. <\/p>\n

After tracking him down, they found him sleeping in his truck the day after the crash.<\/p>\n

Hours before his arrest, Myers appeared in court on an aggravated assault charge linked to a summer confrontation where he threatened a man and tried to hit him with his truck.<\/p>\n

In court, he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, but the judge ordered the adjudication withheld. Myers received 24 months of probation and was ordered to complete anger management classes within 30 days.<\/p>\n

Since Webber\u2019s death, the community has shown overwhelming support, and her mother said that the outpouring has helped with healing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou would never though a lot of people or how many people, how one child could touch and how many hearts. She was a diamond, she still is, because she is going to be one of the brightest stars in the sky,\u201d the mother said.<\/p>\n
