27-year-old man found dead in Rock Hill street after hit-and-run
Rock Hill police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run after a 27-year-old man was found lying in the road late Saturday night.
Officers found the man, who had been struck by a motor vehicle, on Iredell Street shortly after 11 p.m., Rock Hill Police Department spokesman Lt. Michael Chavis said in a press release.
On Monday, York County Coroner Sabrina Gast identified the person who died as Christopher Truesdale, of Rock Hill. Truesdale died at the scene, Gast said.
Police believe Truesdale was walking in the road when he was struck by the vehicle, which left the scene, Chavis said.
Officers are looking for a 2007-2012 Nissan Sentra, Chavis said. Officers found evidence at the scene that indicates the car has extensive damage to its front driver-side fender, according to the release.
As of Tuesday, no arrests had been made in the case, said Capt. Brent Allmon, supervisor for the police department’s criminal investigation division. Allmon said the case remains under investigation.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Rock Hill Police Department.
