FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- A suspect is on the loose after shooting and killing a man during a carjacking, Fayetteville Police said.

At 12:36 a.m., Tuesday, officers responded to B Street for the report of a shooting. When they arrived they found a man with multiple gunshot wounds.

Rickie Pernell McMillan Jr., 39, was taken to a hospital where he later died.

A preliminary investigation found that McMillan drove his car to the 200 block of B Street when an unknown suspect approached the vehicle and demanded the keys at gunpoint, according to police.
