£10k reward to find fatal hit-and-run suspect

Dolars Aleksanders, 21, is being sought after the hit-and-run crash which killed Keaton Slater on 14 June

A reward of up to £10,000 is being offered by a charity for information on a man being hunted over a hit-and-run crash which killed 12-year-old Keaton Slater.

Dolars Aleksanders, 21, is wanted by West Midlands Police on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Keaton died on Friday after he was struck by a black BMW at about 16:30 BST on Radford Road in Coventry.

Crimestoppers, which is independent of the police, said the reward was available for the next three months for information that leads to Mr Aleksanders' arrest.

Police previously said there were four people in the car, which was driving "well above" the speed limit when it struck Keaton, and that they believed Mr Aleksanders was the driver.

Mr Aleksanders, who was born in Latvia but is a UK resident, was living in the Coventry area at the time of the crash, police said.

“A young boy has tragically lost his life and has left a devastating impact on so many people, especially Keaton's family and friends," said Alan Edwards from Crimestoppers.

“Our charity is supporting the police as they hunt for Aleksanders by offering a reward.

"We are reminding everyone, especially those who may be intimidated into silence, that they have the option to stay completely anonymous when contacting us."

People have been advised they should not approach Mr Aleksanders, and should instead contact the police, or Crimestoppers if they wish to stay anonymous.
