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.
