On The Run Suspect In West Valley Utah Car Vs Bicycle Hit-And-Run Identified

VIA: Police have identified the man they believe was behind the wheel of a BMW that hit and killed a bicyclist along 3500 South Sunday afternoon.

In a prepared statement Monday, West Valley City police said they’re looking for Dylon S. Cooke, 32, of Salt Lake City.

Cook is accused of hitting John Kinn, 65, as Kinn was riding his bicycle westbound on 3500 South. Kinn died from his injuries.

Following the accident at 5504 South, police say Cook parked his car in a nearby parking lot and left on foot. Authorities searched for him Sunday evening but were unable to locate him.
