ACT Policing has released new information and dash-cam footage in the hope the public can assist with the investigation into the death of pedestrian Jyle Molloy in February.  

About 11.00pm on Sunday 27 February 2022, 28-year-old Jyle was struck and killed by a vehicle on Pialligo Avenue heading towards Queanbeyan.  

Today, police are able to confirm Jyle was picked up by a dark coloured sedan while he was on Morshead Drive sometime before 11.00pm, and have released dash-cam footage from another vehicle showing this.

Soon after, Jyle exited this vehicle and was walking on Pialligo Avenue when he was struck and killed.  

A review of CCTV footage also identified a white Toyota 4WD in the area at this time. 

Police are calling on the driver or any occupants of the dark coloured sedan to come forward.  

It is likely that the people in that car would have been the last people to see Jyle alive. Police believe they can assist with the circumstances relating to Jyle entering and leaving their vehicle.  

Police are also asking Canberrans to consider anyone who was visiting Canberra that night that may have been driving on this road. The Red Hot Summer Tour concert had finished earlier in the evening and interstate visitors may have been leaving Canberra via Pialligo Avenue at this time. 

Senior Constable Will Stevenson from the Major Collision Team said that there are people in the community that can assist.  

“Police are confident that people have information that could assist the investigation and in turn Jyle’s family,” Senior Constable Stevenson said.  

“Someone could have seen something or heard something. Someone could still know something about the collision and for a variety of reasons they have not come forward. Today, we are asking you to do so.” 

Jyle Molloy was a much loved son, brother and friend. His family have shared the following two statements: 

Family statement 1: 

#JusticeForJyle 

On Sunday, 27th February 2022 our lives changed forever. Our beloved Jyle was taken from us in a blink of an eye. 

Our family & loved ones have grieved the loss of Jyle for 8 months with no answers as to why or how this incident happened.  

This traumatic event has impacted our family emotionally & mentally. With every day we wonder – is today the day our family gets the closure we need and the answers we so badly long for? Is today the day we get Justice For Jyle? 

There is a Justice for Jyle Facebook page, our family asks for you to please follow and share it around, as it could reach someone who has heard something or knows something. 

We do thank the people who have already come forward to us & to ACT Policing with information.   

To the people of Queanbeyan, Canberra & surrounding areas, our family is pleading for your help. If you or anyone you know has any information in regards to Jyle and what happened to him that night,  please come forward and contact ACT Policing or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.  

Please help us get #JusticeForJyle and our family the closure we deserve. 

Family statement 2: 

Jyle ‘is’ a loved member of our family and his absence is felt every day; our family & loved ones have grieved the loss of Jyle for 8 months with no answers as to how or why this heinous crime happened.  

Our heartache and forever pain for Jyle is indescribably hard. The trauma has taken an impact on our family both emotionally & mentally. We live each day wondering if it’s going to be the day our family gets the closure we need & the answers we so badly long for.  

We know that people out there know something, but may think their involvement could be misunderstood. We hope that they could try and put themselves in our shoes “what if this happened to someone you loved, wouldn’t you want answers?”.  

Our family pleads that if you know something or have heard anything, to take the information to the police.  

Help us get #justiceforJyle in order to make sense of this tragedy. Follow & share ‘Justice for Jyle’ on Facebook to help find the answers we are desperate for. We will not give up until we bring Jyle the justice he deserves.
