Vancouver Police are investigating the murder of a 15-year-old boy, who died Sunday morning following a violent altercation near Robson Square. No arrests have been made, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
“Vancouver Police investigators have been working non-stop to secure evidence, identify witnesses, and find the person, or people, responsible for this murder,” says Sergeant Steve Addison. “There may be people in the community who have knowledge or information that will solve this crime, and we’re asking them to come forward.”
Investigators believe the victim, a Surrey resident, was stabbed shortly before 11:40 p.m. Saturday, near the Vancouver Law Courts at Smithe and Hornby Street. A passerby called 9-1-1, and police located the injured boy on Hornby Street.
