Homicide in North Vancouver

By

NORTH VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Homicide investigators say a 19-year-old man is charged with manslaughter after the death of a 58-year-old woman, known to him, in North Vancouver.

Police say a woman was severely injured during a domestic dispute on Monday evening, and died in the hospital yesterday.

They aren’t disclosing the relationship between the victim and the accused.

Once police got to the home on 1st Street near St. Andrews, they chased the suspect down the street.

“The North Vancouver RCMP’s quick response yielded the arrest of the suspect in this tragic incident. While the public’s safety was paramount, this incident appears to be a targeted, domestic related dispute and further details will not be released,” says Sgt. Stephanie Ashton.

Alex Lefkove remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in North Vancouver’s Provincial Court today.
