Fayetteville, N.C. — A Fayetteville teen died Thursday after being run over in a shopping center parking lot, police said.

David L. Lynd, 18, of 1443 Old Stead Drive, was hit shortly after 5:30 p.m. Thursday by a dark-colored sport utility vehicle in the Westwood Shopping Center parking lot at the corner of McPherson and Morganton roads, police said.

Lynd was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he died of his injuries, police said.

Police haven't determined how the accident occurred and are searching for the SUV driver, who left the scene after Lynd was hit.

Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call the Traffic Unit of the Fayetteville Police Department at 910-433-1036 or Crimestoppers at 910-483-8477.

When they find the person(s) who did this, hopefully they will be charged with manslaughter. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of this young man.

I hope they find the person who was driving te SUV. I would like to make a comment about pedestrians in parking lots also. I am not referancing this particular case but i have been in a parking lot where people just walk out in the path of a car. I have been backing out of a space and people will walk around the back of the car with out even a pause. I was out in the middle of the aisle and they will walk behind the car. I especially love it when they look at me like i did something wrong. please people use your head in a parking lot. I do watch for people before moving my car. people must realize that if a low car is parked beside an SUV they move out slowly but they really have a hard time seeing. you must watch out for yourselves too. we do our best. please help us watch out for you too. my sympathy to the family.
