Officers responded to West Pender and Carrall Street shortly after midnight and discovered a man who was deceased.
The victim has not yet been identified and no arrests have been made.
Anyone with information is asked to call VPD’s Homicide Unit at 604-717-2500.
Officers arrived and located a woman suffering from injuries that appeared to be the result of a stabbing. Police and BC Ambulance Service immediately began lifesaving measures but the woman was later pronounced deceased on scene.
Following the incident, an arrest warrant was issued for Singh, and he was arrested late last month. Singh has been charged with 12 offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property and flight from a police officer.
The suspects fled in the stolen vehicle after there was an exchange of gunfire with responding officers. Neither the suspects or responding officers were shot. It is unknown at this time if the outstanding suspects were injured.
In October, VPD investigators executed multiple search warrants, seizing 72 kilograms of the fake, fentanyl-laced pills, along with 16.5 kilograms of cocaine, 88 kilograms of cutting agents, methamphetamine, MDMA, and benzodiazepine.
