  • Vancouver Police investigation leads to charges in last week's Yaletown homicide, deemed a random stabbing

The Vancouver Police have made progress in relation to last week's homicide in Yaletown and believe that it was a random attack. 

Officers arrested a 34 year old female suspect Lindsay Scott, Sunday night near Main and Hastings.

Accorindg to police, she has been charged with one count of second-degree murder against Scott and was arrested without incident. 

The VPD have released a photo of Justin Mohrmann, in the hopes that someone who saw him before the stabbing will come forward with more information.

Police say Mohrmann was stabbed while walking near Smithe and Homer streets the morning of July 11.

In a statement, VPD Sergeant Steve Addison said that evidence indicates that this was a random incident. 

“Investigators have found no evidence to suggest the victim and accused knew each other,” says Sergeant Steve Addison. “We believe they were strangers.”

VPD’s homicide team continues to gather evidence in the Yaletown homicide. 

Police are also investigating Scott’s movements prior to the murder. Anyone who believes they may have interacted with Scott the morning of July 11 is asked to call VPD homicide investigators at 604-717-2500.

Scott remains in custody.
