Army veteran with 3-year-old son identified as man killed in Wellfleet hit-and-run Saturday
Timothy Duval, 24, of Tallahassee, Florida was a husband, and father of a 3-year-old son, according to a press release and post Monday evening on the Wellfleet police Facebook page.
The case is still under investigation, but no arrests have been made, the statement said.
Duval, an Army veteran, had been on vacation on Cape Cod and spending the night with a group of friends who he became separated from. He was killed walking along Ocean View Drive. In an earlier statement, police said they found Duvall after receiving a call about a pedestrian lying in the road and performed life-saving measures, but that Duval was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Investigators are urging members of the public, including residents, homeowners, and business owners in the area, to come forward with any information that may assist in the case," the statement Monday night said. "Surveillance footage, dashcam videos, or eyewitness accounts from the night of the incident could prove crucial in determining what happened and identifying those responsible."
The suspect vehicle is believed to be a pickup truck or SUV, police said, based on the location of the injuries. Information should be directed to Detective Michael Allen at 508-349-3702, according to the statement.

Witness recounts Midtown Manhattan shooting: 'I texted my parents that I loved them'
Jessica Chen was watching a presentation on the second floor of 345 Park Ave. in Midtown Manhattan on Monday evening with about 150 people when she said she heard multiple gunshots fired "in quick succession" on the floor below her. She rushed into a conference room with dozens of others, where they eventually barricaded themselves in the room using tables and "just stayed still," she told ABC News Live in a phone interview Monday night. "I think it was very, very apparent through all this that a lot of us were young, a lot of us went through training in elementary school of what to do in an active shooter situation," she said. "We were all unfortunately prepared." MORE: 3 dead, including off-duty NYPD police officer, in Midtown Manhattan shooting: Sources A man wearing body armor and carrying a high-powered rifle had shot and killed at least four people, including an off-duty police officer working security at the building, police sources told ABC News. After apparently barricading himself on the 33rd floor, the suspect was found dead from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, sources added. Amid the active situation, people desperately searched for places to hide in the conference room on the second floor, Chen said. "We were hiding behind the large monitor. A lot of people were on the ground. We flipped a lot of the tables up," she said. "Some people, if they were a bit later getting there, they really, unfortunately, had to just pull curtains over themselves." Chen said someone in the room with her had a "direct line" with police who were able to update them as the incident unfolded and told them to stay in place. She said a lot of people were also on their phones, checking for updates on the situation and reaching out to loved ones. "I texted my parents that I loved them," she said. "I texted people good in my life that I love them." She said those in the room tried to help each other stay calm as much as possible. "We were honestly really, really scared," she said. "Every American has likely thought through the situation of what should they do if an active shooter happened? I've gone through some semi-close cases in elementary school, but even then, nothing could have prepared any of us." "I think all of us were frozen," she continued. "All of us were shocked. Nothing could describe that feeling." MORE: 3 dead, several injured in shooting outside casino in Reno: Police Once they confirmed the shooter was on the 33rd floor, police had them walk out slowly in an orderly fashion, she said. She said she wasn't wearing shoes when she left and stepped on glass, though was otherwise doing OK. "I think that a lot of the people I've talked to, we're all coming to the same conclusion that this happens too often in America," Chen said. "We really do thank all the schools from across America that make sure to very regularly train their students on exactly what to do in situations like this." "It's very unfortunate that all Americans have had to think it through, but it is the reality of the world we live in," she added.

Cleveland Closer Emmanuel Clase Sidelined By MLB Gambling Probe
Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase, who led the American League in saves for three straight years, is ... More now under investigation for gambling. (Photo by) A second Cleveland pitcher has been placed on paid administrative leave in an ongoing sports betting investigation by Major League Baseball. This time, it's former All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase, a 27-year-old right-hander whose spring training clubhouse cubicle was adjacent to that of fellow pitcher Luis Ortiz, also now sidelined by a gambling investigation. Neither the Guardians nor MLB would provide further comment, although both players have been ordered out of action through the end of August – making them ineligible for potential trades before the July 31 deadline. Clase, whose 0.61 earned run average in 2024 earned him a third-place finish in the American League's Cy Young Award voting, has led the league in saves three years in a row. Although he wasn't pitching as well this season, Clase is still coveted by rival clubs. Under terms of their suspensions, Clase and Ortiz are barred from the Progressive Field clubhouse and any other facilities owned by the Guardians. Ortiz, whose ban was announced on July 3 and later extended through the end of next month, has been keeping in pitching shape at an independent training facility in town. The connection between the relief pitchers is their shared interest in animals, especially chickens and horses on their farms in the Dominican Republic. Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz was placed on administrative leave July 3 in an MLB gambling ... More investigation. (Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images) For the Guardians, losing Clase for any length of time could cripple their long-shot playoff bid. The team entered play Monday with a 52-53 record, eight games off the pace of the front-running Detroit Tigers in the American League Central but just three-and-a-half removed from the third and final wild-card spot. Major League Baseball has informed the ballclub that no other Guardians players or personnel are involved in the gambling investigation. 'The Guardians are not permitted to comment further at this time and will respect the league's confidential investigative process as we continue to fully cooperate,' the team said in an official statement. Gambling on baseball is banned for players, coaches, and managers. But violations – coupled with fines and suspensions – have tarnished the game since its early years. Eight members of the Chicago White Sox were banned for life by Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the first Commissioner of Baseball, and Pete Rose received a lifetime ban for allegedly betting on the game while he served as manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Even Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were punished for accepting jobs as greeters in Atlantic City casinos, though Bowie Kuhn's ban was overturned by Peter Ueberroth, who succeeded him as Commissioner of Baseball. Prominent signs prohibited gambling are posted in every big-league clubhouse. Violators can be banned for life, as Rose was, and placed on the ineligible list – keeping them off the Hall of Fame ballot as well. According to Major League Rule Rule 21d(2): 'Any player, umpire or club or league official or employee who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible.' In addition, MLB Rule 21d(3) reads as follows: 'Any player, umpire or club or league official or employee who places bets with illegal book makers or agents for illegal book makers, shall be subject to such penalty as the Commissioner deems appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances of the conduct.' Regarding the paid leaves of Ortiz and Clase, Major League Baseball said in a statement that it will not comment further until its investigation has been completed. Just the cloud of an investigation can be enough to derail a player's career – not to mention hurt his earning power. Clase, for example, is earning $4,900,000 this season as part of a five-year, $20 million contract that runs through 2026 but contains team options for 2027 and 2028. The less experienced Ortiz signed a one-year, $782,600 contract for the 2025 season but is not yet eligible for salary arbitration. Both players will be paid under terms of their administrative leave. Unless their leaves are extended, their status is likely to change – one way or the other – after results of the investigation are announced.
