Vancouver police identify victim of fatal Kerrisdale stabbing
The victim of Vancouver's 10th homicide of 2021 was 24-year-old Luis Rosas Saenz, police announced Friday.
Saenz was found suffering from a stab wound on the street near Southwest Marine Drive and West 57th Avenue around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 10. He was taken to hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Homicide detectives from the Vancouver Police Department are investigating, and they ask anyone with information or dash cam video recorded in the area between 6 and 7 a.m. to contact them at 604-717-2500. Tips can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
“Investigators believe that a number of people were driving down the road at the time of the offence,” said VPD spokesperson Const. Tania Visintin, in a news release.
“We need anyone with dash cam footage to call our investigators as soon as possible.”
CTV News Vancouver recorded video of heavily armed police at the scene shortly before noon on the day of the stabbing.
In the video, a young man can be seen walking slowly off the property police were focusing on with his hands up. A negotiator can be seen beckoning the man to come forward as other officers point their weapons at him.
He eventually lies down on the ground and police handcuff him.
Despite this, at the time of the incident, police told CTV News no arrests had been made in the case. At the time, Visintin suggested that officers may have detained the young man.
Asked again about the incident on Friday, Visintin said investigators working on the case have not indicated to her that any arrests have been made.
