PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George has recorded its sixth homicide of the year.

This as local Mounties confirm the person injured in last week’s violent home invasion on the 300-block of Nicholson Street did not survive his injuries.

A woman was also seriously injured in the incident but is expected to survive. The homicide occurred just after 8 p.m. on June 19 with witnesses or anyone with information urged to contact police.

“Regrettably, the male victim did not survive his injuries. We are once again appealing to the public to come forward with any information about the identities of the persons who entered the residence where the victim was located in the time before the home invasion occurred. If anyone has any surveillance or dash cam footage from the 300-block of Nicholson Street South between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., which shows persons or vehicles coming and going from the area, we encourage you to speak with an investigator by calling 250-561-3300,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP.
