Suspect charged after 2023 Downtown Eastside killing

The Vancouver Police Department says a man has been arrested and charged in relation to a homicide in the city’s Downtown Eastside neighbourhood last year.

According to Const. Tania Visintin, on Nov. 21 last year, 34-year-old victim Stephen Crock was found just after 3 p.m. with stab wounds near East Hastings and Columbia streets.

Crock was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries.

“Following a year-long investigation, Lyle Price, 23, was arrested this week by VPD officers. The BC Prosecution Service has approved one count of second-degree murder against Price,” Visintin shared on Wednesday.

Price has been remanded in custody awaiting his next court appearance.
