Unsolved homicide in Vancouver

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Jan, 2025 03:41 PM

Vancouver police are renewing an appeal for witnesses of a July 2021 homicide of a 24-year-old man in the city's Southlands neighbourhood.

They say Luis Rosas Saenz was stabbed and died on July 10, 2021, after leaving a house party near Southwest Marine Drive and West 57th Avenue.

Police say they were called to the scene by passing drivers, but the suspects had fled the scene by the time officers arrived.

They say homicide investigators have since identified a suspect, but eyewitness testimony would be "pivotal" so they are encouraging anyone with information to contact the department.
