Three other people are also facing charges in connection with a “vicious attack” at 646 Main St. E. near Burris Street on Feb. 10.

The latest to be arrested, 38-year-old Daniel Holland, is said to have misled police during his first interview, according to detectives.

Investigators say evidence contradicted the accused’s story and that he did in fact participate the incident.

Hoang died in hospital on Feb. 27, becoming the city’s second homicide victim of 2021.
