Fort Bragg soldier killed in hit-and-run

print friendly

Fort Bragg, N.C. — Fort Bragg officials are investigating the death of an Army private killed this weekend in what appears to be a hit-and-run.

A spokesman for the military post said the 20-year-old soldier was walking along Bragg Boulevard around 1:40 a.m. Saturday when he was struck and killed near Guber Road.

Fayetteville police conducting a DWI checkpoint noticed damage to a 21-year-old woman's car and, after questioning her, contacted the Army Criminal Investigation Command at Fort Bragg.

The CID has not released any other information about the case, including the driver's name or whether she faces any charges in the death.

In my comment I was not trying to diminish the fact that someone died. My point was that this is a partial story that there is more too. Yes sad he was killed and she should go to jail for a very long time but still I sit here waiting to hear those famous words "and know you know the rest of the story". There is more here and feels like yet again something is getting covered up.

I agree with you Lone Voice in the Wilderness!!! Maybe if this person who hit Mr. Powell had stopped he would still be alive today!! Prayers for his family & loved ones.

Focus people, focus.....I agree with Lone Voice in that hit and run should be a HUGE felony with a REALLY LONG jail sentence to it. As it is, we lose a valuable member of society because of someone that could care less. Why care less, because she fled the scene, possibly he could have been saved if medical had been called. She hit him, ran away, and thats the story here, not where he was going or why.

Let's keep in mind that the victim is Bradley Powell. He was walking and minding his own business. 1:40 am or 1:40 pm is irrelevant. The person who struck him with the vehicle is the one that should be the focus of attention; Powell is the victim in this story.

How did his family know he was walking to the grocery store? Are they here? and if so why did no one drive him. Who gets groceries at that hour of the morning in a town you do not know? I agree , something is not right with the story.Condolences anyway
