KAMLOOPS — Mounties are seeking public tips into a fatal hit and run last month that claimed the life of a 21 year old man.

On Jan. 7 at around 9 p.m., Morisho Kavimba was struck and killed on the Coquihalla Highway near the Trans Canada interchange.

“Kavimba is believed to have been in Kamloops for two to three days before being struck on the highway,” says Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Lorne Wood. “The RCMP are specifically interested in speaking to anyone who may have seen the victim between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Jan. 7.”

Wood adds Kavimba was last seen near the Aberdeen Mall at 7:45 p.m. that night and police would like to speak to anyone who gave him a ride to the mall, or if someone gave him a ride from the mall up the highway to the interchange or possibly saw him on the highway at any location.
