The Edmonton Police Service said it is investigating the death of a man, found in critical condition in a southside suite, as a homicide.
Police said officers were called to the area of 103 Street and 45 Avenue at around 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday for reports of an assault. When they got there, they found the victim, 21-year-old Darrian Trevino-Sabourin, and he was treated and rushed to hospital where he died of his injuries at about 6:30 p.m.
On Thursday, police said an autopsy performed earlier in the day determined Trevino-Sabourin died from multiple stab wounds.
Kyle Benedict Shirt, 21, was charged with second degree murder, and possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace.
While police said the victim was found in a suite, they said they could not reveal whether the suite was in an apartment building or hotel. However, several hotels are located in the area and no apartment buildings.
