Peace River RCMP are investigating a fatal incident at a local gas station and are asking for the public’s help.
Police say they were called just after 4:20 a.m. Thursday to the Petro-Canada on 78 Street, where a man was found deceased at the gas pumps.
Investigators believe the incident happened roughly two hours earlier. Surveillance video shows a suspect stealing a vehicle, getting into the driver’s seat, and running over the victim—resulting in his death.
The vehicle, described as a red 2005 Dodge Caravan taxi with Alberta licence plate L98636, has since been recovered.
Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation, with support from local forensic teams and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Edmonton.
Police are now working to identify the suspect and track the vehicle’s movements between 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. on April 23rd.
The suspect was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, a black T-shirt with a white decal, black boots, and mismatched gloves—one grey and one black.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Peace River RCMP.
