  • Murder probe after boy, 15, stabbed to death on downtown Vancouver street

Police say a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death near Vancouver's Robson Square over the weekend and the killing is being investigated as a murder.

No arrests have been made, and police say they are not releasing the name of the victim, who was from Surrey, B.C.

Police are asking anyone with information about the stabbing that investigators believe happened around 11:40 p.m. Saturday to come forward.

Officers believe there was a "violent altercation" near the Vancouver Law Courts at Smithe and Hornby Street.

A passerby called police who found the injured boy on Hornby Street, but despite the efforts of first responders, he died in hospital early Sunday morning.

Police are seeking witnesses or others who may unknowingly have dashcam video of the incident.
