Pedestrian death in Kelowna

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Oct, 2023 03:50 PM
  • Pedestrian death in Kelowna

Mounties are investigating the death of a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle in Kelowna's Rutland neighbourhood over the weekend.

Police say they believe the death on Saturday afternoon is related to an earlier event where officers responded to a complaint of a group of teens using bear spray on people. 

The R-C-M-P say its serious crime unit has taken over the homicide investigation and is interviewing witnesses. 

They say no arrests have been made, but are encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
