Prince George RCMP Serious Crime Unit is investigating the fourth local homicide of 2021.
An adult male was in the emergency room with traumatic injuries on April 22. The police got the call from hospital staff at about 3:30 a.m.
The man died of his injuries.
“Preliminary information indicates that prior to arrival at the hospital the male was associated to a residence on the 900 block of Carney Street," Cst. Jennifer Cooper of the Prince George RCMP, said.
"Police are familiar with this residence as it was the subject of a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act warrant executed by the Street Crew Unit in March of this year. As such, investigators believe this was a targeted attack and there is currently no risk to the public."
Anyone with a dash cam who was driving in the area of 10th Avenue and Carney Street between 3 and 6 a.m. on April 22 is asked to call police at 250-561-3300.
