CMPD is asking for help finding the driver of the vehicle that struck and killed a pedestrian in east Charlotte early Saturday morning. Khalid Perry, 21, was hit by a silver car at around 2:15 a.m. on Saturday at the intersection of Albemarle and Lawyers roads. Police released a photo of the car, stating that it's expected to have noticeable damage to the right side of the windshield and possibly to the hood and roof. 

CMPD also needs help finding a man who robbed a convenience store on the same morning as the above-mentioned, unrelated incident. Police say the suspect (pictured left) assaulted an employee in the Kangaroo Express on North Tryon Street at around 12:45 a.m. on Saturday morning. He also implied that he had a weapon before taking money from the victim's hand. The suspect fled the scene in an older model white Mercury with a blue top and a basket hitch. 

The old Charlotte Observer building was torn down today. It's not much of a news story but everyone likes to see people knocking shit down, right? It's not quite the cool implosions you've seen on TV, but here's a video from Observer reporter Rick Rothacker anyway:
