OLIVER, B.C. - A man has been arrested in Quebec in connection with a fatal hit-and-run near Oliver that killed a 22-year-old pedestrian in June 2025, BC Highway Patrol say.
On June 15, 2025, BC Highway Patrol responded to a single-vehicle incident in which a 22-year-old male pedestrian was struck by a vehicle near the Cassini Winery south of Oliver. The pedestrian died at the scene, and the driver who hit him did not stay at the scene.
Public tips and investigative efforts subsequently led to the identification of a suspect. On June 5, 2026, the BC Prosecution Service approved one charge against Dominic Kavanagh Latreille: failing to remain at the scene of a collision, under section 320.16(3) of the Criminal Code.
On October 14, 2026, Latreille was arrested in Drummondville, Quebec, by the RCMP with the assistance of the Sûreté du Québec, in a collaboration between BC Highway Patrol, RCMP “C” Division and the Quebec provincial police. He appeared in court on October 15, 2026, and was remanded in custody. The BC Sheriffs then transported him back to British Columbia for court.
The charge has not been proven in court.
BC Highway Patrol thanked the members of the public who provided assistance and information during the investigation. Anyone who may have additional information about this collision is asked to contact BC Highway Patrol in Keremeos at 250-499-2250 and quote file (2100) 2025-1881.
