This may vary by state, but Florida for example has a limit of four years in which the prosecution must be initiated for manslaughter (and second and third degree murder as well).

if someone runs in front of a car and gets hit and killed will the person that hits them be charged with involuntary manslaughter?

Murder is considered one of the most heinous crimes. Many states have determined that there should be no statute of limitations for murder. They want the criminal to live in dread for the rest of their lives.

That will depend on what the jurisdiction is. There are 15 states that have no statute of limitations on murder. The rest of them set it based on the type of murder.

That will depend on the jurisdiction in question. In some states there are no limits for felonies of any type, including felony manslaughter. In others there may be one that applies.

Laws vary from place to place. Some states have no limits on felonies at all. Others set it around 10 years. Most toll the statute if the individual is not living in the state.
