A £500 reward is being offered as detectives continue their search for Jordan Stillwell, a 22-year-old man from Hastings, in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision that occurred in the town on 5 May.
Stillwell is described as white, approximately 5’8” tall, of medium build, with blue eyes, and dark ginger hair and facial hair. The reward is being offered for any new information that directly leads to his arrest and will be available for a three-month period.
Detective Chief Inspector Karrie Bohanna said, “We know that Stillwell has links to the Hastings and Eastbourne areas, and we’re urging anyone who sees him or knows where he could be to please contact us. Do not put yourself at risk by covering for him in any way. This is an extremely serious offence which resulted in the tragic loss of a member of the community, and we will not stop in our efforts to locate those responsible and bring justice for the victim’s family.”
Anyone who sees Stillwell or has any information regarding his whereabouts is urged to dial 999, quoting Operation Cronus. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or reporting it online.
In related news, 20-year-old Reuben Nelson, also from Hastings, who was previously circulated as wanted in connection with the same incident, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop after a road traffic collision. Nelson has been released on conditional bail as enquiries continue.
