On June 1, 2021, at approximately 4:53 p.m., a 53-year-old male from Fenwick Island exited Harris Teeter grocery store located at 31221 Americana Parkway, Selbyville, and attempted to cross the parking lot from the store to the first median. While crossing the road, a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck operated by Robert Sadowski Jr., 19, of Bishopville, MD, began driving north in the parking lot toward the victim.
