Gavin Clifford Hawk

Raleigh, N.C. — Police on Tuesday arrested a Dunn man in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Raleigh on Sunday night.

Gavin Clifford Hawk, 28, of 713-A Peace St., was charged with felony hit-and-run in the death of Ian Kristopher Quick.

Police said Quick, 25, died when an SUV struck his mo-ped on eastbound Interstate 40 at Gorman Street in Raleigh.

Publicity about the search for a yellow Nissan Xterra with front-end damage led to a tip that resulted in Hawk's arrest, police said.

Hawk was taken to WakeMed Tuesday evening after he slit his wrist, a supervisor on duty at the Wake County Jail said. His condition was not released.

The Raleigh Times, where Quick worked, was closed for lunch Tuesday, as staff, family and friends gathered instead to remember him.

The restaurant held a fundraiser in Quick's honor Tuesday night.

thanks for all the hard work RPD. we will miss SpyK and his chimichangas and hackey-sack throw-downs in front of the Times.

to the culprit...you've taken a part of my life away that will never fill. i hate you for that, but i hope you learn and grow from your mistake. SpyK wouldn't be angry...he'd challenge you to a battle of wits or just smile and brush it all off. his mother, not so much. be ready in court...she's not taking this lightly.

"No, you can't check for Xterras that begin with "YSS"." Hey, RPD07, you can check makes/models with partial tags. I do it all the time. Why don't you check your facts before you spout off about something you seem to know little about. Judging by your name, you present yourself as a cop . . . not a very knowledgeable one, I might add.

No, you can't check for Xterras that begin with "YSS". Plus, how good is the witness? Many times people mix letter up. The majority of times that a person calls in a tag, it comes back as non existent meaning that either the person saw it wrong it it was miscommunicated. Just because you see it on TV doesn't mean it is real life.....

Its "restaurant" not "restuarant".

Shame about that kid. Hope they catch the person(s) who did it.
