WHITE ROCK (NEWS1130) – Homicide investigators are recommending charges of second-degree murder and assault causing bodily harm after a man was killed in White Rock last night.
Mounties were called around 7 p.m. after several 911 calls about a fight at a home on Ash Street. Two women and a man were hurt. The man died at the scene.
Police have not released the cause of death.
IHIT says the suspect, a 22-year-old man, was seen throwing objects and knives off of the balcony of the home before running away. He was arrested a short time later.
Police say four people lived at the home. “There is some family relation there, we’re not going to get into what that relation is,” says Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound.
Investigators believe the suspect injured two women in the home, as well. They went to the hospital last night, but have since been released.
“There were several witnesses in the area at the time of this occurrence and IHIT is asking witnesses, who haven’t spoken with police to come forward with information,” adds Pound.
If you have any information, you are asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
