The Prince George RCMP is investigating a homicide that occurred yesterday (Tuesday) on the 1900-block of Spruce Street.
“The initial call to Frontline Police officers was received around 3:30 a.m. Investigators attended a residence on Spruce Street to find one person deceased and a second person suffering from gun shot wounds. Multiple people in the residence were detained during the investigation and were subsequently released without charge,” stated Corporal Jennifer Cooper.
Police believe this to be a targeted event with no increased risk to the general public.
One individual has been arrested in connection with this event. However, as charges have not yet been approved, police are not currently releasing any further information.
It is the northern capital’s first murder of 2025 according to the detachment after tallying six murders last year.
In addition, the neighbouring North District detachment responded to a pair of homicides outside of the northern capital last year.
Investigators are requesting that anyone with further information regarding this file that have not already spoken to police, to please contact the detachment’s non-emergency line at 250-561-3300.
This investigation remains ongoing.
