A truck Edmonton homicide investigators believe was involved in a fatal hit and run that killed former mixed martial arts fighter Ryan Jimmo has been found.

Police were called to a parking lot early Sunday near 101 Street and Whyte Avenue after an altercation between Jimmo, 34, and another driver ended when the suspect vehicle slammed into Jimmo as he was walking back to his vehicle.

The driver then fled the scene.

Jimmo was taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Edmonton police located the suspect truck — described as a dark-coloured, older model single-cab truck with a bed cover, oversized tires on chrome rims and clear tail lights — on Monday night.

The truck has been seized and was undergoing forensic examination.

Police would not say where the truck was located or whether the driver had been identified.

An autopsy report completed Tuesday confirmed Jimmo died as a result of blunt force trauma.

The police have asked the public to come forward with any information they may have about the case.
