Hamilton Police say they have charged a fourth man in the July death of Brock Beck in Binbrook, Ont.

Albin Gashi, 18, of Stoney Creek has been charged with second-degree murder.

Three other men from Hamilton and Stoney Creek have also been charged with second-degree murder in the case, Cam-Thai Khath, 18, Petar Kunic, 19, and Thomas Vasquez, 22.

“We believe that this was a road-rage incident gone bad,” said Hamilton Police Det. Sgt. Steve Berezuik. “We are still of that opinion, and that was what formed a difficult investigation for us, was the fact that there was no link between the accused, and Brock Beck, and the youth.”
