Prince George RCMP are investigating the city’s second homicide in 2024.
Officers responded to the 800-block of Victoria Street after getting a report of shots fired at that location shortly after 11 p.m. on Feb. 13. When they arrived, they located a male victim deceased from his injuries.
“The increase in gun violence in Prince George, along with the recent theft of firearms from a gas station, is concerning and our police officers are working tirelessly to apprehend those who are responsible for these crimes,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
Police say this was a targeted event and there is no increased risk to the general public. Their investigation is ongoing.
Investigators are looking for any dash camera, cell phone or video surveillance footage from the area between the hours of 10:45 p.m. and 11:35 p.m., or to speak with anyone who witnessed the incident and has not already spoken with police.
Please contact the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300 with any information.
