Help Police Get Closure for Victim's Family in 2011 Hit and Run

Tiverton Police are actively working to find the suspect in an 2011 unsolved hit-and-run case that resulted in the death of a 70-year-old man.

Detective Brendan Mckinnon has been working on the case since the beginning and wants to find closure for Kieron’s family, WPRI reported.

The pedestrian was struck on Main Road and Hilton Street intersection at about 5:09 p.m. on Nov. 23, 2011.

The victim, John Kieron, passed away in the hospital two and a half months later, WPRI reported.

The driver was operating a light colored, four-door sedan, fled north into Fall River and was never identified.

Witnesses said the vehicle may have been a Nissan Maxima and two people could have been in the car, according to WPRI.

The vehicle’s passenger side rear view mirror was broken off and found in the roadway, but the evidence has not led police to a suspect.

The Tiverton Police Department is requesting the public’s help with the case.

Anyone with information can contact McKinnon at (401) 625 6717 ext. 115.
