Post and Courier reported Jonathan Reid-Boyd, 24, watched his brother get assaulted and flee while being chased by two people before pressing the gas pedal on his black 2017 Dodge Ram and striking 38-year-old Michael Cooper just after 3 p.m. on Nov. 27, video footage shows, according to the North Charleston Police (NCPD) investigator’s warrant affidavit.
Police found Cooper with “significant injuries” lying between two vehicles believed to be involved in the accident according to police reports and other records. He eventually died a week later from blunt force trauma according to Charleston County Coroners Office.
