Mandan Police are looking for a suspect driving a white pickup that killed an elderly Mandan man early this morning.  The plates of the suspect's vehicle are possibly from Montana or Wyoming.

This fatal hit and run of a pedestrian happened early this morning (Monday, March 21st) at 7:25 am.  Mandan Police received a report of a pedestrian who had been struck by a motor vehicle.  The victim, a 77-year-old Mandan man was pronounced dead at the scene.  The incident took place in the parking lot at the All Seasons Arena, which is in the 900 block of 9th Street Northwest.
