A man critically hurt during a violent attack in his Prince George home earlier this month has died and police say the case is now being treated as a homicide.

R-C-M-P in Prince George said the man suffered life-threatening injuries during the home invasion on June 19th and a woman who was with him was also severely hurt but is expected to survive.

No arrests have been made and police are again appealing for surveillance or dashcam video taken last Monday night between 7:30 and 8:30pm in the city's Quinson neighbourhood, northwest of the downtown core.

Names of the man or woman have not been released and Mounties say the death marks the sixth murder in Prince George this year.
