Vancouver police renew call for information into 2023 stabbing death on Granville Street
Jose Kaze, 32, was stabbed on Granville Street between Smithe and Nelson streets just before 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2023.
Just over two years later, police say they believe there are witnesses to the crime who have yet to come forward.
"We ... know that the Granville Mall continues to be busy at around 3 a.m., especially on weekends," Const. Jason Doucette said Wednesday.
"We are confident that people around the area would have seen something."
Doucette said Kaze was killed near the Roxy Cabaret, and witnesses who have already spoken with police reported there were other people around at the time.
"Two years has gone by. This is somebody's son. This is somebody's partner," he said.
"We need you to do the right thing and come forward and share the information," he added.
"A little piece of information could put this investigation into full gear, and we can hold the person accountable who did this."
Doucette said police have been in touch with Kaze's family over the last two years, and victim support services are available for anyone who was "living with something that [they] saw for the last couple of years."
He's asking anyone with more information, including anyone driving by that day in August 2023, to come forward to police.
"There would have been an altercation. You would have seen lots of emergency vehicles. Any little bit of information could help us break this case," Doucette said.

Video shows flames tearing through Hollywood police SUV as 911 call captures incident
A marked Hollywood Police SUV caught fire early Thursday morning in a Kendale Lakes neighborhood in Southwest Miami-Dade, prompting an emergency response and sparking an investigation into what caused the blaze. The incident happened around 12:02 a.m. near 4500 SW 139 Court, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office. Deputies from the Hammocks district arrived to find the police vehicle engulfed in flames but unoccupied. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) crews responded and were able to extinguish the fire.

British man charged with trying to drown daughter-in-law in Florida swimming pool
A British holidaymaker has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly tried to drown his daughter-in-law in a Florida swimming pool, authorities have said. Mark Raymond Gibbon, 62, was on vacation at the Solterra Resort in Davenport, Florida, with his family when deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office were called to a disturbance in a backyard swimming pool on Sunday evening, the sheriff's office said in a post on X. According to the victim and witnesses, Gibbon was in the swimming pool with his 33-year-old daughter-in-law when the pair started arguing about his grandchildren, said the sheriff's office. Authorities said Gibbon is from Beaconsfield, England, about 25 miles west of London. 'Gibbon is accused of pushing and holding the victim's head under water multiple times, preventing her from breathing,' reads the statement posted on X Monday. 'The victim's 9-year old daughter jumped into the pool in an attempt to stop Gibbon from drowning her mother.' Gibbon only stopped when a pair of sisters in the neighbouring vacation rental said they had called the police, the sheriff's office said, citing the victim's statement. Gibbon was arrested and has been charged with battery and attempted second-degree murder. 'It's great that Polk County draws visitors from all across the world, but we expect vacationers to behave while they visit with us, just as we expect our lifelong residents to do the same,' said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd in the statement. 'Because Mr. Gibbon couldn't control his anger, he may find himself spending a lot more time in Florida than he had anticipated.'

Apology to Lucie Pagé
City Press published a story on 24 December 2024 written by Gillian Schutte, titled ' Lucie Pagé, Canadian journalist and wife to Jay Naidoo, charged with assault ' , and a follow up written by Mduduzi Nonyane on 30 December 2024, headlined ' The victim of alleged assault by Jay Naidoo's wife fears for her life ' [LINK]. Lucie Pagé subsequently complained to the Press Ombud that, amongst others, the articles were false, in violation of the Press Code, portrayed her as a violent person, did not reflect her version of events and that she was not afforded enough time to respond before publication. Ten of those complaints were dismissed by Deputy Press Ombud Tyrone August as being without merit. However, he ruled that City Press was in breach of Clause 2.1of the Press Code for failing to disclose that Schutte, the author of the first article, is also a resident of the estate where Pagé lives and held strong views on various matters at the estate in which Pagé is involved. Schutte was therefore potentially conflicted to write the story objectively. City Press was also found in breach of Clause 1.8 of the code as Pagé was given an unreasonable time frame within which to respond to the request for comment. City Press apologises to Pagé. See the updated story that includes her version.
