Police need your help finding deadly hit-and-run suspect in Winston-Salem

Anyone with information about this accident is urged to call the Winston-Salem Police Department at 336-773-7700

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Editors note: The video above is from a previous story about the family looking for answers after a man was killed in a hit-and-run accident.

The Winston-Salem Police Department is searching for the person responsible for hitting and killing a 61-year-old man in December 2021.

Officers with the WSPD Traffic Enforcement Unit ask for your help with this case. Investigators said they believe the suspect vehicle is a 2002-2010 sedan with front-end damage from the accident. 

Mr. Gregory Slade was hit by a vehicle while walking on North Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem. Detectives said the driver kept going and Slade was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died from his injuries. 

His family is asking the driver who hit him to come forward. 

"To know the way he was hit by a car and the person didn't stop it's really just bothersome," said his sister, Beverly Slade.
