♦ This morning the RFP received a number of calls and emails concerning a homicide investigation taking place in the vicinity of the intersection of Hawkinstown Road and Old Mocksville Road in Salisbury. The scene was alive with police vehicles and investigators questioning people in the area.
The homicide victim was identified as Miquel Angel Urrutia,24, of West Thomas Street. Witnesses are saying a person got out of Urrutia’s Chrysler and drove off in another vehicle.
Called to the scene at approximately 6:30 a.m., the police originally thought it to be a car crash prior to deciding it was a homicide of yet to be determined causes. The black Chrysler sedan was found in a ditch by the side of the road. This afternoon it was confirmed by investigators Urrutia was shot.
Yellow CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS tapes are stretched across the roadway and the black sedan was pulled out of the ditch by a flatbed tow truck. The area is a curve in the road where no homes or buildings are present. A desolate noman’s land.
Urrutia’s Criminal Record:
If you have any information about this crime call the Salisbury Police at (704)-638-5333 or contact Salisbury Rowan Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
