Cody Cochran's last words were to tell his girlfriend he loved her, but he didn't get to finish his sentence. Instead, Cochran, 28, was struck and killed on Garrison Boulevard at about 12:40 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 19, by a dark-colored SUV, which then drove off, according to Gastonia Police. His girlfriend, Natalie Lang, said that the two of them were in a turning lane on their bicycles when the vehicle hit Cochran.
