CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man is dead after a driver hit him with a car on purpose and drove away in northwest Charlotte, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Police officers got a call for service in the 3800 block of Brookshire Boulevard just after 3:30 a.m. on Saturday. There, they found a man who was seriously hurt in what appeared to be a hit-and-run.
