    Vancouver Police are investigating the city’s seventh homicide of 2021, after a 59-year-old man was stabbed to death in an east-side home Saturday morning.

    VPD officers were called to the home, near Joyce Street and Vanness Avenue, at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday for reports that a man had been injured. When officers arrived, they found the victim suffering from multiple stab wounds.
