MEMPHIS, Tenn. — One of the victims who was killed in an East Memphis hit-and-run earlier this month has been identified.
According to the Memphis Police, Michael “Mike” Dodson was one of two people killed during the two-vehicle crash on October 8.
Dodson was a husband, a brother and deemed by his Neil’s Music Room co-workers as “the best cook ever.”
