NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police have released security camera footage of a vehicle believed to be involved in the death of a cyclist earlier this month.
A 79-year-old cyclist was critically injured after he was struck by a hit-and-run driver in New Haven died last week police and family members confirmed to FOX61.
Stephen Rediker, of New Haven, died Saturday from the injuries he sustained after he was struck while he was riding a bicycle near the intersection of Grove and College Streets on Nov. 6.
Police are looking for a black Ford F150, which they estimate the model year to be somewhere between 1997 and 2003. It is a two-door single-cab pickup truck with a black bed cap and tinted windows. Police said it likely will have damage on the right side.
“We put out a BOLO through college and that goes to all of the agencies in Connecticut with that description of the vehicle and with the associated charges, which in this case is a felony evading,” Capt. Rose Bell, of the New Haven Police Department, said.
Bell said the possible charges could be increased.
