A man arrested in connection with the 2021 death of a 60-year-old in Grandview Park has been sentenced, the Vancouver Police Department says.

According to the VPD, 41-year-old Jeff Arnie Lincoln pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced on Aug. 30 of this year.

Lincoln was arrested in January 2022, following a five-month investigation.

Police previously said Gilles Hebert was assaulted in the park along Commercial Drive and Charles Street around 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 5, 2021. He was reportedly knocked unconscious and later died of his injuries in the hospital.

Lincoln has been sentenced to six months in prison, in addition to a 21-month credit for time already served. The VPD says the man will also serve two years of probation and be subject to a 10-year firearms prohibition after he is released from custody.
