Alleged shooter surrenders in Raleigh car crash, homicide
Officers were called to a wreck in the 3400 block of Capital Boulevard in Raleigh Saturday night only to learn the driver of the car had been shot.
Posted — UpdatedPolice spokesman Jim Sughrue said that coverage "was instrumental" in encouraging the surrender of Rashand Nicholas Fitts.
Fitts, 30, is charged with the murder of Travis Donovan Rhodes.
Rhodes Ford Mustang swerved across oncoming traffic Saturday night on Raleigh's Capital Boulevard before coming to a stop on the shoulder.
Rhodes was taken to WakeMed, where doctors found the gunshot wound to his torso. Rhodes died at the hospital, and the homicide investigation began.
Police distributed surveillance images of a man and vehicle they say led them to identify Fitts as the suspect. The man in the photo is not Fitts but was with him shortly before the shooting, Sughrue said.
