Mercedes-Benz ran over man, then fled, CMPD says. Car found, but driver at large
A red Mercedes-Benz linked to a fatal hit-and-run has been located, but the driver remains on the run, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. The crash happened just before 9 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of East Arrowood and Nations Ford roads in southwest Charlotte, CMPD says. “Upon arrival, officers located an unresponsive victim, Niceforo Garcia-Rufino, 43, lying in the roadway. MEDIC arrived and pronounced Rufino deceased at the scene,” CMPD said. “The preliminary investigation indicates that Rufino was crossing E. Arrowood Road (and) was not inside a marked crosswalk. The driver of the Mercedes was driving above the posted speed limit at the time of the crash.” The vehicle fled east towards South Boulevard, and was later located by police. “But the driver is still outstanding,” police said. Investigators have not released details of the vehicle’s owner, or where it was located. Rufino lived at an apartment about two miles north of the crash scene, court records show. 17-year-old says he was too ‘scared’ to stop after Mercedes-Benz hit child: CMPD 6-year-old was struck by vehicle at intersection and left to die, CMPD says Missing woman’s vehicle found near waterfall in national forest, NC sheriff says

A Charlotte Cop Allegedly Ran 1 Plate Through Flock for a Friend, and the Phone Search Turned Up a Group Text Tied to 6 More Officers
Seth Elliott, a 25-year-old Charlotte, N.C., police officer, ran one license plate through the Flock Safety network and a state criminal justice database on June 16, 2026, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The State Bureau of Investigation arrested him July 29 on a charge of illegally accessing a government computer, which CMPD's release calls a Class 1 misdemeanor. The CMPD Flock investigation then grew well past the lookup: state agents working the case pulled data from Elliott's phone and found a group text thread that CMPD has tied to six other officers.

At Charlotte airport, pardoned Jan. 6 rioter Jake Lang goes on (false) social media rant
A far-right influencer pardoned by President Donald Trump in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, filmed himself in Charlotte Douglas International Airport this week ranting against Muslim prayer rugs in the airport chapel. “Hey, guys, we’re here at the Charlotte, North Carolina, airport,” Jake Lang says in a video posted on social media. Referring to the CLT chapel, he wrongly asserts that “this is basically a mosque now sponsored by your tax dollars.” Lang’s breath quickens as he lifts a rug and apparently moves it elsewhere in the chapel. “This is what we’re doing in America now,” he says. “Shame. We’re being Islamified.” In a caption in all capital letters above his video, he writes, “Charlotte North Carolina used to be a Christian strong hold but now we are mocked with Qurans & prayer rugs inside our chapels!!!” Lang spent four years in jail awaiting trial on charges that included attacking police officers with a baseball bat during the riots. After he received Trump’s pardon in January 2025, he announced a bid for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat but didn’t appear on the primary ballot. In June, he was charged in North Texas with making a terroristic threat outside

Sunday will be one in a series of days with highs only in the 50s and lows at or below freezing, forecasters say. The cold front will reach the region late Thursday and extend from one end of the state to the other. Lows across the state this weekend will range from 22 degrees in Cherokee to 33 degrees in Jacksonville on the coast, forecasters say. Precipitation is not forecast for the Charlotte region.
