“Aloka liked to help people.”
On Oct. 27, Aloka Akot was crossing 17 Avenue S.E. northbound when a dark-coloured sedan travelling west on the same road approached the intersection at 44 Street S.E. and struck the woman just before 8 p.m.
Family members are now pleading for the driver, or anyone with information on the incident, to come forward. According to Gar, Calgary’s Sudanese community has seen an increase in overdose deaths during the past few years, and death’s like Aloka’s add to the pain.
