VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Vancouver Police say a charge has been laid in connection with the city’s second homicide of the year back in February.
It’s all related to a daytime street fight.
Matthew John Anthony-Cook was picked up by the VPD at about 2:30 yesterday afternoon.
A manslaughter charge has been approved by the crown.
Constable Brian Montague says the 27-year-old is linked to the death of 59-year-old Michael Gregory.
“At 10:30 a.m. on February 9th, two men were involved in a fight on Venables Street near Commercial Drive. When police arrived, we found Mr. Gregory unresponsive and with serious injuries,” Montague explains.
He died in the hospital.
Anthony-Cook is known to police for several offences… he made his first court appearance this morning on this charge.
