PROVIDENCE, RI -- A city man in his early 20s was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver late Friday night, and the police are investigating the possibility that it was not an accident.
The victim, whose identity was withheld pending notification of next of kin, was run down at about 11 p.m. near 871 Elmwood Ave., police Lt. Dean R. Isabella said Saturday.
Two men, one of whom was the victim, were involved in an altercation at a store on Elmwood Avenue, according to Isabella.
"These participants got into a beef, and someone got run over," he said.
