RICHMOND, Va. — A plea hearing date has been set for this week for the driver charged in the death of longtime director of the Valentine museum Bill Martin.
Martin was struck and killed while walking in a Richmond crosswalk around noon on Saturday, Dec. 27.
Harry McCray, 38, of Moseley, faces three misdemeanor charges: failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, careless driving and infliction of death on a vulnerable road user, and driving while license is suspended or revoked.
According to the Richmond Police Crash Team, McCray made a left turn from North 10th Street onto the eastbound lanes of East Broad Street and struck Martin while he was in the crosswalk. Police say McCray stayed at the scene.
Martin died from his injuries the following day.
McCray surrendered at the Richmond Justice Center in May following indictments by a grand jury.
McCray will appear for his plea hearing on Friday, Aug. 28.
