FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WGHP) — An NC woman is facing a murder charge after allegedly running over and killing a man with her car, according to the Fayetteville Police Department.

Person hit by car in hit-and-run in Greensboro

Police say that on April 24., Khaleeta George Gethers, 28, "deliberately" struck Jarod Perry, 20, with her car on the 3500-block of Boone Trail.

Police say that Perry suffered "life-threatening injuries" and he was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Perry would later die of the injuries he sustained in the incident.

Gethers initially faced the following charges:

• Attempted first-degree murder
• Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury

Gethers is currently being held at the Cumberland County Detention Center under no bond.
