Police have made another arrest in connection with the beating death of a man at a central Hamilton apartment in February.
Investigators say the suspect is facing a first-degree murder charge in connection with a ‘vicious attack’ at 646 Main St. E. near Burris Street on Feb. 10.
Detectives say Tommy Hoang, 30, was beaten by a number of occupants with weapons after being lured into the residence.
It’s believed two of the attackers then drove Hoang’s car to his residence after the assault and stole a quantity of cash and valuables during a break-in.
