‘Much-loved’ student, 19, killed in horror car crash as cops launch urgent appeal for help to find 3 suspects
POLICE have launched an urgent appeal to help find three suspects following a horror crash which saw "much-loved" 19-year-old student tragically pass.
Officers revealed that Rogan Kemp, Macauleu Martin, both aged 26 and Liam Millerm, 24 are the three suspects they want to question over the collision.
West Yorkshire Police added that the men are from Scotland and Cornwall and have launched an urgent appeal to the public to help find them.
Ashton Kitchen-White, 19, was fatally struck by a red Ford Focus on Ring Road, Beeston Park, Middleton, around 10pm on Friday.
A police investigation found that the car involved had travelled from Scotland to Leeds shortly before the collision.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle said: “Ashton was clearly a much-loved and popular young man with a bright future ahead of him, and his family have been left absolutely devastated by his death in such sudden and senseless circumstances.
“We are determined to do everything we can to get them the answers they need at what remains a really difficult and painful time for them.
“We urgently need to trace the three men we have named today as suspects.
“We would urge anyone who has seen any of them in their respective areas around Penzance in Cornwall or Livingston in Scotland, or who has any information that could help to locate them, to contact us immediately.
“Now is clearly not a time for any misguided sense of loyalty to come above the needs of Ashton’s heartbroken family.”
