Man dies following Sept. 22 assault; Fredericton police investigating homicide
Police in Fredericton are investigating a homicide after a man who was assaulted last week died from his injuries.
The Fredericton Police Force says two men were assaulted in the Tannery early in the morning on Sept. 22. One man was seriously injured while the other sustained minor injuries.
Police were initially investigating the incident as a serious assault, but say they learned Tuesday afternoon that the 41-year-old man has since died, so they are now treating the case as a homicide.
Investigators were trying to identify a group of men in connection with the investigation and released photos of the group Tuesday afternoon. They said Wednesday morning that they have since identified the “persons of interest.”
No other details have been released at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Jordan Milbury at intelligence@fredericton.ca or 506-460-2300. Anonymous information can be provided through New Brunswick Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
