Police identify man they want to speak to in fatal hit and run at Charles Daley Park
Homicide detectives have identified the man they are looking to speak with in relation to Thursday's fatal hit and run collision at Lincoln's Charles Daley that resulted in an 82-year-old St. Catharines being struck by his own car. On Thursday, the victim, Larry Pearce, arrived at the park around 9 a.m. and was there for about 40 minutes. Niagara Regional Police said at the time it's believed he was driving out of the park when he stopped at the front entrance and interacted with an unknown suspect or suspects. Police said Pearce got out of his vehicle, at which point a suspect got in the driver's seat. Pearce stood in front of the vehicle to prevent him from leaving and he fell to the ground during this confrontation, said police. The suspect drove away with the victim's 2012 silver Honda CRV with Ontario licence plate 24FS30. At the time it was taken, it was equipped with two roof racks. The car was last seen getting onto the QEW Niagara-bound from Seventh Street at about 9:44 a.m. Pearce died from his injuries Friday. Early Sunday, police put out an update with a description of the man they would like to speak to in relation to the incident. Police said the man was seen in the park Thursday morning and was accompanied by a pitbull-style dog, which was white with black and brown markings, on a green leash. Later Sunday, police said assistance from the public enabled them to identify him as Davy Rocchetti, 50, of no fixed address. He has outstanding warrants for an unrelated matter, including mischief under $5,000, theft under $5,000, three counts of operation while prohibited, and fail to comply with probation. Detectives ask anyone with information on Rocchetti's whereabouts to call the police and to call 911 immediately without approaching him if he is seen. Police said they wish to speak with him about any information he may have about the ongoing homicide investigation and encourage him to contact legal counsel and turn himself into the police to address his outstanding warrants. They are also asking for people to keep an eye out for Pearce's vehicle. Police ask anyone with information to call 905-688-4111 , option 3, ext. 1009450.
