Michael Sullivan's family will be speaking to reporters at 1 p.m. at central police station.
Sullivan became the city's 10th homicide of the year when he died at Hamilton General Hospital earlier this month. The incident, and the frightening circumstances of a driver chasing down and deliberately hitting a cyclist, remained secret for almost three months.
Sullivan was riding on his bike in the area of Barton Street East and Lottridge Street back in July.
"While in the vicinity he had a brief interaction with some individuals and continued about his business," according to a police statement. "This interaction led to some misinformation being passed to the driver of a black, Ford F150 pickup truck." Thom would not specify what that "misinformation" was.
Police say the driver of the truck chased Sullivan through city streets and then pursued him into the rear lot of a Barton Street East restaurant supply store. The truck hit Sullivan and he flew off the bike, police say.
The driver of the truck sped off after hitting Sullivan and was last seen travelling eastbound on Barton Street, police say.
A black Ford F150 pickup truck was picked up by police last week. Follow CBC Hamilton for updates Tuesday afternoon.
