Police continue to search for a fourth suspect as part of an investigation into the death of a Cambridge man in May.

On May 14 around 6 p.m., Wellington County OPP responded to a collision on the Hanlon Parkway, north of Stone Road in Guelph. A 40-year-old Cambridge man was found with life-threatening injuries. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Through the investigation, officers learned the man had been abducted from a residence on Fife Road in Guelph by five suspects in two vehicles.

"Investigators believe, while traveling southbound on the Hanlon Parkway, the victim was outside the first vehicle, a Toyota Venza SUV, when he was struck by the second vehicle, a Dodge Ram pickup truck, that was following closely behind," police said.

The pickup truck had the Ontario licence plate BZ 85153.

Three people have been arrested and charged in connection to the case including kidnapping and assault with a weapon. One of the people charged is a 16-year-old from Guelph.

Police continue to search for a 51-year-old Guelph man with short brown-grey hair and possibly a goatee. He may have been wearing a blue baseball cap.

Police are also asking all residents or businesses in the area to review their security camera footage and share any relevant photos or videos with the OPP. People can also reach out to Crime Stoppers to provide tips anonymously.
