Police have identified a suspect in Friday’s hit-and-run crash that left a Kamloops teenager dead on a residential street in Aberdeen, KTW has learned. The suspect did not turn himself in to police. Mounties spent much of the day on Sunday and yesterday morning at a home in Dufferin, where a black two-door Jeep could be seen sitting on the driveway with a blue tarp over its hood. Investigators had previously released surveillance video showing a similar vehicle in the area of Pacific Way and Abbeyglen Way near the time 16-year-old Jennifer Gatey was struck and killed. Gatey died at the scene after being struck by a vehicle less than 100 feet from her Aberdeen home while walking to a bus stop on Pacific Way. The fatal collision took place just before 6:45 p.m. on Friday. The suspect is expected to be arrested at some point. He was in contact with police yesterday, but had not been taken into custody as of KTW press time. A neighbour who lives next door to the home where the tarped Jeep sat in the driveway on Monday said the vehicle belongs to her neighbour. “He’s a nice guy,” she said. “He broke his hip and he’s been on medication. He’s young, probably in his early 40s.” See JEEP, A5
