US EditionAccused in Fatal Kelowna Hit-and-Run Elects to Be Tried by Judge Alone
- Brandon Kazakoff, 30, was charged in September 2023 with dangerous operation causing death, failure to stop, and assault in the fatal hit-and-run of 15-year-old Tristan Seeger in Kelowna.
- The charges stem from events on October 21, 2023, near Houghton and Franklyn Roads, which police initially investigated as a homicide after teens reportedly used bear spray nearby.
- Kazakoff appeared in court earlier this week and opted to have his case heard solely by a provincial court judge while continuing to remain out on bail.
- Jason Seeger, Tristan’s father, expressed that his family simply wishes to mourn their son peacefully, and that the recent developments have only intensified their pain. He also hoped the authorities would pursue more serious charges.
- This case highlights ongoing legal proceedings and community concerns following the tragic death, with trial arrangements now set.
