A man is dead after a hit-and-run in West Baltimore.
On January 4, an officer was on patrol in the 1200 block of West North Avenue when he was told that a man had been struck by a car.
Police say they found a 48-year-old man suffering from multiple abrasions to the head and body.
He was taken to a hospital where he remained in critical condition.
The man, later identified as Philip Jones, died three days later.
Investigation determined that the incident was not accidental and that a homicide had occurred.
Ollice Weaver was heading to church across the street when he saw the scene.
"First thing I was thinking, I thought somebody got shot," Weaver told WMAR-2 News.
One neighbor said he was familiar with Jones and saw everything that happened.
"We speak all the time he used to come through here all the time," he said, "I came off the steps and I walked down here to throw the trash away, next thing I know he got hit."
Charging documents say the suspect, later identified as 31-year-old Michael Manigo, drove into a gas station in a KIA Sportage and started to drive slowly, following Jones.
As Jones left the gas station, Manigo quickly followed. He drove in the wrong lane of traffic then down a one way street to allegedly run Jones over.
Manigo then got out of the car and looked at Jones laying on the ground, charging documents say.
He was arrested in the 2300 block of Annapolis Road after police found the disabled KIA. Manigo was in the car at the time and initially told officers he was having car troubles before officers were able to link the car to the hit-and-run.
A neighbor, who declined to show her face or reveal her name, said she was alerted by the police sirens around 7 a.m. Sunday.
"After they put him on the bed, they took him and laid him on the board. I said, 'That poor man is dead.' I said, 'Oh my god that's sad."
Manigo told investigators he didn't know Jones but that his car was "bewitched" and "controlled by Satan."
He's been charged with attempted first-degree murder.
Upgraded charges for Mangio are pending.
Jones' death becomes the third homicide of the year.

I absolutely do NOT trust the electric power steering in my car. The lane keeping function takes my control away and steers the car against my input.
‘...the bullet riddled corpse of that Minnesota woman! “
Something’s wrong with you kid..
Sorry I have zero sympathy for her
Looks like a stinky troll…ZOT
That wasn’t the point
Your perception/interpretation/description was..
So you are angry at me because I dared criticize the crazy harpy who tried to kill the ICE agent? Why don’t you go join your fellow leftists in Minnesota!
For Manigo to blame Satan is the ultimate blame shifting.
Arguably her car was controlled by a servant of satan.
Baltimore won’t count it in their homicide stats since it didn’t involve a firearm.
Why yes BooBoo, he is black with dreadlocks.
“Arguably her car was controlled by a servant of satan.”
So her car was a ford pinto?
No you did not!
“Wait, you mean this whole time this is a valid argument? Quick, someone tell the bullet riddled corpse of that Minnesota woman!”
Nice try TROLL!
Yeah she’s a bullet riddled corpse because she tried to run over and murder a lawful federal ICE agent telling her to stop impeding a law enforcement operation, sorry that you are crying tears over some dumb liberal lesbo soccer mom
You are a liar… you seek to provoke on this site and should be zotted!
“You are a liar”

Never disputed this, but you are playing games on this thread. I hope moderators will review your posts and see your BS.
What games? That the dumb lady deserved every bullet she got for defying law enforcement and trying to kill them with her vehicle?
I was just referring to the driver of the car.
