A man has been taken into custody after allegedly shooting and killing a driver who ran over his son in Timberlake, North Carolina. The Person County Sheriff’s Office reported that the incident occurred when a family of three became stranded after their car ran out of gas on Dink Ashley Road. As they were walking back home, the 17-year-old son was struck by a truck, resulting in his tragic death. The driver promptly called 911, but the situation took a drastic turn when the father, identified as Chad Woods, retrieved a firearm and fatally shot the driver. Woods then proceeded to steal the driver’s car and return to their residence on Cedar Creek.
In an attempt to dispose of the evidence, Woods discarded the gun used in the shooting into a nearby pond. Despite extensive efforts by divers to locate the weapon, it remains undiscovered. The driver who was killed has been identified as Jeffery McKay, an employee of the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, serving as an electrical supervisor in central engineering.
Woods has since been arrested and is facing charges of second-degree murder and larceny of a motor vehicle. Authorities will continue their search for the discarded firearm in the pond. This story is still unfolding, and further updates will be provided..
