A fatal hit-and-run in west Edmonton is being investigated by homicide detectives.
A cyclist, 31-year-old Lawrence Bishop, died of blunt injury after he was hit by a black Lincoln SUV in a parking lot near 156 Street and 107 Avenue on Dec. 1.
Jonathan Morgan, 38, faces charges of dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop after an accident resulting in death, and suspended driving, Edmonton Police Service announced on Thursday.
