CMPD searching for car that sped off after fatal hit-and-run on the Brookshire

CHARLOTTE — Police continue to look for whoever hit and killed a man while he was crossing Brookshire Boulevard last month in northwest Charlotte.

The crash happened on July 31 just before 3 a.m. on the Brookshire near Hoskins Road.

When officers got there, they found 35-year-old Barry Cunningham lying in the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators said a 2015-2021 Dodge Charger was speeding northwest on Brookshire Boulevard when it struck Cunningham as he was crossing the road. They said the force of the impact caused Cunningham’s body to fly across three lanes before landing next to the median.
