New Brunswick RCMP are asking for assistance in finding two persons of interest in relation to a homicide that occurred in Moncton on Tuesday afternoon.

Police responded to a complaint of a fight on Elmwood Drive Tuesday at about 2:30 p.m. On arrival police found the fight had ended, but on further investigation found a man in a car that had crashed nearby on Stone Avenue.

The 47-year-old man, whose name is not being released at this time, was found with stab wounds and an ambulance was called. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
