Suspicious shooting death on New Brunswick highway ruled homicide: RCMP
The New Brunswick RCMP's Major Crime Unit says the death of a man in Lincoln, N.B., has been ruled a homicide.
Members of the Oromocto and Keswick RCMP detachments as well as paramedics responded to a firearm-related incident around 4:10 a.m. Sunday near the 2300 block of Route 102 in Lincoln.
Upon arrival, police say they found a 27-year-old man with gunshot wounds.
According to police, he was taken to the hospital with what were believed to be serious, life-threatening injuries. He died of his injuries sometime later.
