West Valley City police are searching for a driver they believe hit and killed a bicyclist Sunday afternoon.

Police believe the man, 32-year-old Dylon S. Cooke, of Salt Lake City, was driving on 3500 South near 5500 West when he hit bicyclist John Kinn, according to a WVCPD news release. Kinn died at the scene.

Police said Cooke's vehicle was abandoned in a parking lot near 3450 South and 5600 West, and its driver — who they believe was Cooke — fled on foot.

Cooke is described in the news release as a black man who is about 6-foot-1 and weighs about 200 pounds. His black hair was worn in "medium-length dreadlocks ... tied back into a ponytail" at the time of the incident, police say.

Anyone with information on Cooke's whereabouts is asked to contact West Valley City police at 801-840-4000.
