An 18-year-old man was killed Tuesday night in Gloucester Township by a SUV that fled the scene, police said.

A suspect later surrendered to police.

Trohkeem Brantley, 18, of Sicklerville in Gloucester Township was struck shortly after 8 p.m. in the 2000 block of Sicklerville Road, officials said. He was taken to Jefferson Hospital in Washington Township, but died from his injuries.

Gloucester Township police said that while investigators were pursuing tips from witnesses and the public, the suspect surrendered at police headquarters. The SUV believed to have been the striking vehicle also was recovered, police said.

Bruce Bennett, 66, of Franklinville, was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident, a second-degree felony.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office said he was released on a summons pending an unspecified future court date.
