RCMP have released images of a person who may have been involved in a homicide outside a Kelowna night club.

On Friday (Aug. 12), at around 11:00 p.m., police officers witnessed an altercation between a number of individuals outside a club (reportedly Liquid Zoo) in the 200 block of Lawrence Avenue.

“A male victim was located injured on the ground. Another male had been observed fleeing the area on foot,” said Sgt. Kevin Duggan. “Emergency Health Services attended to the injured male. He was admitted to a Kelowna General Hospital and pronounced deceased a short time later.”

“Investigators have conducted an extensive video canvass of the area and are looking for the public’s assistance in identifying the man captured in the attached images,” said Inspector Beth McAndie, investigative service officer. “Investigators would like to speak to this individual in relation to this ongoing investigation.”

The man is described as Caucasian, about 30 to 40 years old, shaved or bald head and wearing a black T-shirt with a distinctive red logo, camouflaged pants and black, red and white shoes.
