Police said a group of people in a car were coming home from the Luc Lounge in Raleigh and got into some sort of altercation. The 22-year-old woman got out even though her friends tried to stop her and keep her inside.
She started walking on a dark part of New Hope Church Road at Green Road when a second vehicle hit and killed her, according to authorities.

No charges have been filed so far.
The Luc Lounge has been the target of the N.C. ALE and the ABC Commission multiple times. Saturday night, a worker at the Luc Lounge, Randall Rohm, was arrested again for selling alcohol illegally.
In late July, police and ALE officers raided the Luc Lounge for allegedly selling alcohol with a revoked permit and arrested seven people, including Rohm.
