Calgary Police Service investigators have released a surveillance photo of an unidentified man in connection with last week’s hit-and-run that left one woman dead.
Emergency crews were called to the 3800 block of 34th Street N.E. shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Friday, July 21 after a vehicle struck a pedestrian.
The victim, identified by family as Brandy Hillman, died at the scene.
Police believe the driver continued north before turning eastbound on 39th Avenue, then turning around and heading west.
The suspect vehicle, believed to be a dark-coloured, 2008-2010 model Dodge Grand Caravan, would likely have considerable front-end damage as a result of the collision.
“I honestly have no opinion as to the reasons why somebody has fled the scene, but this is somebody’s sister, this is somebody’s mom, it’s somebody’s daughter who has been left on the side of the road with fatal injuries,” said Staff Sgt. Colin Foster of the CPS traffic section.
“We will do everything in our ability to find this driver now and deal with him accordingly.”
Investigators are looking to speak with a person of interest in connection with the hit-and-run and are circulating a security camera still of a man entering a convenience store. Police have not indicated if the man is considered a suspect or a potential witness.
Anyone who recognizes the man or who has information regarding the hit-and-run is asked to contact the CPS non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers.
