REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) – Redmond police investigators turned to the public Monday for any information that could help them find a driver who struck and fatally injured a Redmond man on Highland Avenue in early July, as well as information on the vehicle involved.
Police and fire medics responded shortly before 10 p.m. on Friday, July 2nd to the area of Southwest Highland Avenue and 15th Street on a report that a man later identified as Cleland Weber, 54, of Redmond, had just been struck by a vehicle, Lt. Jesse Petersen said.
Officers learned Weber had been crossing Highland Avenue from north to south near the intersection when he was struck by a vehicle heading west on Highland Avenue, Petersen said.
Weber was taken to St. Charles with injuries and died on Oct. 15 of complications from the injuries he’d sustained, the lieutenant said.
