THUNDER BAY — Thunder Bay Police say they are investigating a homicide after a weekend incident on the city's north side.
Thunder Bay Police Service officers with the primary response branch were sent to the area of Camelot and St. Paul streets just after 2:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Det. Insp. Jeremy Pearson said responding officers located an injured male and transported the victim to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, who later succumbed to the injuries sustained during the serious assault.
Police identified the victim as a 20-year-old Thunder Bay man.
Once the major crimes unit and forensic identification unit became involved in the investigation, a suspect was identified and turned himself in to the police.
A 23-year-old Thunder Bay man has been charged with second-degree murder.
Police believe the victim and accused were known to each other and had a history between them.
While not detailing the type of assault, Pearson did confirm that a firearm was not involved in the weekend incident and that no other individuals are being sought related to this incident.
Pearson said police received several calls about the incident. "We received several calls from members of the public who were on scene, notifying us and requesting assistance for the police and EMS.
"We owe them our thanks and, of course, our thanks in advance to anyone who may have further information that comes forward in the future."
A post-mortem is scheduled for the victim.
It's the city's third confirmed homicide of 2024.
