Pedro Mondragon-Ramirez was charged with the murder of Leonor Alpizar, a pregnant woman fatally stabbed around 10:30 p.m. on May 16 in a mobile home on Iris Circle in Rock Hill—after fleeing the scene he was arrested the next day in Charlotte and now faces charges that include the death of her unborn child.

Rock Hill commuters face delays as both southbound lanes on Cherry Road are closed due to a tar leak from a truck spillage near Cherry Park.
