Edmonton police issued Canada-wide warrants for the arrest of a man allegedly involved in a fatal hit-and-run in northwest Edmonton last November.
Police responded to a crash in the area of 111 Avenue and 96 Street on Sunday, November 5, at approximately 2 a.m.
It was reported to police that a blue 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer struck a cyclist in the intersection and fled eastbound on 111 Avenue.
The 38-year-old male victim succumbed to his injuries in hospital a short time later, EPS said.
Witnesses told EPS Jiduo Luo of Xiamen, China was the driver of the Mitsubishi Lance. The 23-year-old is wanted for the following offences:
- Manslaughter
