(Darryl Dyck / The Canadian Press) Three people have been charged with manslaughter after an assault that turned fatal in Fort St. John earlier this week. The incident occurred on Tuesday, June 24, in the 9900 block of 99 Avenue. Police were called to the area around 6:45 p.m. that day and arrived to find the unresponsive victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene. On Friday night, Fort St. John RCMP announced an update in the case, saying in a news release that 'an intense investigation' had led to the arrest of three suspects, who have each been charged. Online court records identify two of those charged, while the third name is redacted due to a publication ban. The named suspects are Ethan Joseph Charles Dore and Dyllon John Cazes. Dore's year of birth is listed as 2000, while Cazes was born in 1993. Police said two of the suspects had been remanded into police custody and scheduled to appear in court on June 30, with the third was in police custody awaiting a bail hearing. Officers from Fort St. John RCMP and the B.C. RCMP's North District worked on the investigation, with multiple units from each agency involved. 'Our investigators worked tirelessly over the past few days to conduct a thorough investigation and arrest these three individuals,' said Cpl. Paul Waterman, of the Fort St John RCMP Serious Crimes Unit, in the release. 'We believe this to be an isolated incident with no additional threat to the public.'
