Police find car that fatally struck Edmonton teen, driver still at large
Tips from the public helped Edmonton police find a vehicle involved in a 2024 fatal hit-and-run in southeast Edmonton, but the suspect is still at large. Police were called at roughly 4:05 a.m. on May 29, 2024, to help paramedics with a hit-and-run collision near 48 Street and 34 Avenue between a young cyclist and a vehicle. EMS attempted to treat the 13-year-old boy's injuries, but he was pronounced dead shortly after. EPS's major collision investigations section (MCIS) took over the investigation and released footage of a suspect vehicle on July 2, asking the public for assistance in identifying it. Thanks to tips from the public, EPS were able to locate the vehicle, a 2017 blue Mazda 3, at a vehicle repair shop in Edmonton. 'As our investigation into this fatal hit-and-run collision continues, we are encouraged by the new evidence we have obtained through locating and seizing the suspect Mazda 3,' said acting Sgt. Chris Deslaurier with MCIS in a Friday news release. Police are still on the hunt for the owner of the vehicle. They are once again asking anyone with information to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. 'Our focus remains on bringing a matter of resolution to this young man's family,' said Deslaurier. 'We believe there are members of the public who have valuable information that will continue to assist us with our investigative efforts. If you have any information about the collision or the driver of this vehicle, please contact us immediately.'
