“We’re asking these people to come forward and tell us what they know, so we can obtain answers and accountability in this unsolved case.”
Police were called out shortly after 6:30 a.m. after passing motorists saw what they believed was a fight on the street. The suspects fled, and when police arrived they found Saenz seriously injured.
A passerby provided first aid however Saenz later died in hospital, said Addison.
Homicide investigators believe Saenz was leaving the party when he had an argument with a group of people outside the house. It’s believed Saenz was stabbed by a person in that group.
Homicide investigators have identified the suspect.
“There were eyewitnesses to this stabbing who have yet to come forward and co-operate with this investigation,” said Addison.
“Their evidence could be pivotal, and we’re asking them to do the right thing, work with our investigators, and help us solve this case.”
Addison also said there may have been passing motorists, or people with dashcam video, who witnessed the stabbing.
Anyone with information is asked to call VPD’s Homicide Unit at 604-717-2500. Anonymous tips can be reported to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
