Vancouver police appeal for information in 2023 murder
Two years after a man was stabbed to death in Vancouver's Granville Entertainment district, police say they believe there are people who have information but have not shared it with investigators.
The victim, 32-year-old Jose Kaze, was stabbed on Granville Street near Smithe Street around 3:15 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2023, the Vancouver Police Department said in Wednesday's appeal for information.
'We know the Granville Mall remains busy just after 3 a.m. on weekends, and someone would have seen what happened,' Const. Jason Doucette said in the statement.
'If you have any information about this homicide, please don't assume someone else has already told us. Call us and let us determine if it's important.'
At the time of the fatal stabbing, authorities said they had not determined a motive and did not know whether the attack was random.
Anyone with information is being urged to call investigators at 604-717-2500.
