Const.
Tarun Bali died after he was struck by a vehicle during an attempted apprehension in Hearst, Ont., approximately 600 kilometres northwest of Sudbury, around 12:30 p.m.
Hearst resident Justin Veronneau is facing charges of first-degree murder, dangerous driving, flight from police, assault of a peace officer and resisting arrest.
