More than a year after a boy was hit and left to die on a road in southeast Edmonton, police have identified a suspect and issued a Canada-wide warrant.

Abraham Alfonso Chavez, 41, is wanted for manslaughter, dangerous driving causing death, hit and run causing death and unlawfully causing bodily harm.

The blue 2017 Mazda sedan he is believed to have been driving was found earlier this year at a repair shop in Edmonton — a discovery police said was thanks to tips from the public.

Police did not say which auto body shop it was found at, but did note repairs had not yet been made to the vehicle, which was heavily damaged on its front end and driver’s side.

The fatal crash on May 29, 2024 happened at around 4 a.m. along 34th Avenue between Mill Woods Road East and 48th Street.
