Authorities have confirmed that 31-year-old Andres Mateo Hernandez of Gainesville was the man discovered dead in a Gainesville street on Sunday, June 1.

Hernandez’s body was found lying unresponsive near the intersection of McConnell Drive and Mountaincrest Drive just before 3:30 a.m. A witness had called 911 after reportedly hearing the sound of a crash, prompting emergency services to respond.
