Hager was the city’s 11th homicide victim of 2020.
The deceased was found with “obvious signs of trauma” in a third-floor apartment near King Street East and Sherman Avenue just after 9 p.m. on Sept. 21, investigators say.
Chiasson, from Hamilton, is facing a second-degree murder charge in connection with the death after he was discovered by police following a call about a man in need of medical attention.
