The Goochland Sheriff’s Office is asking for help in determining what led to the death of Billy Lee Maxwell III, 17, who was found in the middle of Broad Street Road just east of Maidens Road early Saturday morning.

Goochland Sheriff’s Office spokesman Chad Hatton declined Monday to call the incident a case of hit and run.

“It’s too early in the investigation,” said Hatton. “We are trying to find out exactly what happened.”

Hatton said it does appear a vehicle was involved.

Unresponsive but still breathing, Maxwell was found “in the middle of Broad Street,” according to Hatton. He died around 3:30 a.m. at the scene. His body has been taken to the Richmond Medical Examiner’s office where toxicology tests will be performed.

Authorities said there was no one at the scene when the incident was reported or when authorities arrived.

Investigators want to hear from persons who may have seen anything in the area of Broad Street Road between Oilville and Maidens Roads from 1:30 a.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday morning.

Hatton said the Sheriff’s Office is working closely with Virginia State Police and reminded the public that any information is wanted.

“We are looking to talk to anyone,” he said. “They can always call Crime Stoppers anonymously,” said Hatton.

Anyone with information can contact the Goochland Sheriff’s Office at 804-556-5349 or Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000.
