32-year-old sufferer stabbed to loss of life in Kelowna’s downtown

Kelowna RCMP is currently investigating a murder that took place just before 1 am last night.

Police were called to the 1300 block of Water St as reports came in that there was a group of people involved in an altercation.

While en route to the scene RCMP were advised that one of the individuals had been stabbed.

“Upon arrival, Kelowna General Duty officers observed the victim lying on the grass with another male attempting life-saving measures,” said a release from the Kelowna RCMP.

“BC Ambulance arrived, but life-saving attempts were unsuccessful, the 32-year-old male ultimately succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased on-scene.”

The Serious Crime Unit has since taken over the investigation which is still in its early stages.

RCMP noted that they will not be releasing any further information at this time.

Anyone who was a witness to this event and has yet to speak with police or has dash camera recordings to call (250) 762-3300 reference file number 2022-63746.
