B-C's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the victim is Jesse Kennedy, who lived in the city, and police are releasing his identity in an effort to help solve the case.

Kennedy was found injured in the 325-hundred block of Lougheed Highway on July 13 just before 6 p-m, and died after being taken to hospital.

Police say they have arrested a 37-year-old suspect who remains in custody despite not having been charged. (
