Investigators have now released security video they believe shows the suspect walking away from the crime scene.

In the video, a person wearing what appears to be a large puffy jacket, white shoes and a hat can be seen walking down the sidewalk, carrying what appears to be a large knife casually in their hand.

Anyone with information is asked to call Vancouver police homicide detectives at 604-717-2500.
