Man Found Injured In Road After Being Hit By Vehicle Driven By Teen: Police

BELTSVILLE, MD — A 67-year-old Beltsville man has died after he was found injured in the road.

According to the Prince George's County Police Department, on July 24 around 10:40 p.m., officers were called to the 11400 block of Rhode Island Avenue for a report of a shooting. They found 67-year-old Neville Robinson of Beltsville in the road with what officers thought was a gunshot wound. However, detectives discovered that Robinson instead had been hit by a vehicle outside his home, the police department reported.

The driver of the vehicle that hit Robinson was later determined to be a 16-year-old boy from Bowie who has been identified and located. The preliminary investigation indicates the teenager and Robinson had been involved in an ongoing dispute. On the night Robinson was injured, the teenager had gone to Robinson’s home. Robinson came outside and fired a weapon at the teenager as the teen was driving away. The teenager was uninjured, the police department stated.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the exact cause of death, but at this time, it does not appear Robinson was shot, the police department said. Homicide Unit detectives are actively working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and are consulting with the State’s Attorney’s Office. At this time, no charges have been filed against the driver.
