Carlos Dunlap is in mourning this week after finding out his father, Carlos Dunlap Sr., died Saturday night after being struck by a car.

Speaking on behalf of his family, David Aylor Law Offices released the following statement:

“It is with sadness we report the passing of Carlos Dunlap Sr. last night, he was a loving father and well-respected community leader. We will miss him dearly. North Charleston Police are still investigating the accident. As a close friend of David and David Aylor Law Offices the family has asked us to let others know to please respect his family at this time of grieving and provide them with privacy.

The driver involved in the accident was located on scene and no charges have been filed as of yet.

Absolutely heartbroken for Carlos. Had the opportunity to meet Mr. Dunlap a few times- will never forget the special moment Los and his Dad shared running onto the field together during Salute to Service.

Keeping the entire Dunlap family in my prayers ?https://t.co/EnrOO6KrBF
