A driver suspected of fleeing the scene after killing a cyclist with his BMW in Bushwick earlier this month has been identified as 21-year-old Kareem Q. Jordan, and police are asking for the public's help locating him.
Jordan stands 5-foot-8 and weighs around 180 pounds. Police say he was last seen fleeing the scene of the crash wearing white pants and a black shirt with the number 5 printed on the back.
The crash from which Jordan was allegedly fleeing occurred around 8 a.m. on April 9 at the intersection of Broadway and Halsey, where he struck and killed 46-year-old Queens resident Angel Torres before ramming into a parked car. According to police, he then barreled down a one way street near Broadway and Thomas S. Boyland Street, crashing into an SUV. He allegedly abandoned the 2014 BMW at the intersection of Chauncey Street and Thomas S. Boyland Street.
Anyone with information on Jordan's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or online here.
