Posted — UpdatedMackenzie Lee Jackson, 27, was charged with hit-and-run resulting in death and attempted first-degree murder. He was arrested in Greensboro.
An arrest warrant states Jackson hit a man and a woman in behind Quick Stop Discount Tobacco, along the 500 block of Grove Street in Fayetteville, and tried to hit other pedestrians in the parking lot with his 2007 Saturn Ion.

The woman was seriously injured and transported to a hospital. She was expected to recover.
A witness said the argument broke out about cigarettes or drugs.
“Things like that can happen over the smallest little thing,” Casey Adams said. “I don’t understand why people have to go to such lengths just to get a cigarette or some drugs. It’s not cool.”
