CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police have identified the man they said was struck and killed by a car in east Charlotte Monday night.

Investigators said Barry Mahoney was walking along Eastway Drive, near The Plaza, when he stepped in front of a car.

The driver of the car, Jimel Tamba, stayed at the scene and police do not think speed or alcohol were factors in the collision.

Tamba was arrested for driving with a revoked license and no insurance.
