Homicide investigators are in Richmond this weekend after a man died in hospital of what’s being considered foul play.
Richmond RCMP were called to Richmond General Hospital late Friday evening, just before midnight, for the report of an “unresponsive male” who had been brought in.
“When officers arrived, the male was suffering from injuries consistent with foul play,” Corporal Dennis Hwang of Richmond RCMP said in a statement.
The man did not survive and died a short time later. His death is being considered a homicide. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was brought in to probe the death.
“This is believed to be a targeted homicide, and at this point in time, it is not believed to be related to the recent acts of violence Richmond has seen,” said Hwang.
Anyone with information relating to the death is asked to contact homicide investigators at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Those who wish to remain anonymous can do so by contacting CrimeStoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
