‘Like a branch cracking’: witness at trial in 2015 gas-and-dash death
CALGARY — A witness testifying in the hit-and-run death of a gas station worker says she screamed at the woman to get away from a fleeing truck because she feared it was a “dangerous situation.”
Maryam Rashidi, 35, was killed while trying to stop a driver from leaving the Centex gas station in Calgary who failed to pay for $113 worth of gas in June 2015.
“I was trying to get the woman’s attention,” Angela Reece testified Monday at the second-degree murder trial of Joshua Cody Mitchell.
“I was screaming at her, ‘Come back here. I’ve got his licence number… get away from that truck.’”
