ST PAUL, Minn. — Weeks after a man was struck and killed near a St. Paul intersection, police are asking the public for help to identify a possible suspect.
According to a post on social media from St. Paul police, 83-year-old John Bidon was found near the intersection of Arlington Avenue and Mcafee Street in St. Paul's East Phalen neighborhood on the evening of Oct. 19. Officers were called to the area just after 7:30 p.m. after a driver found a man lying in the street unconscious.
The man, later identified as Bidon, was taken to Regions Hospital where he later died.
Police said Bidon lived near the intersection. According to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner, he died from injuries sustained from being struck by a motor vehicle.
"Saint Paul, we need your help bringing justice to this case for John’s family," police wrote in the post.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Sergeant Neubrand at 651-266-5722.
A GoFundMe started by a family friend is raising money for a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person involved in the hit-and-run. Find a link to the fund here.
