Hamilton Police have charged a fourth person in connection with the beating death of a man at a central Hamilton apartment in February.
Investigators say the suspect was arrested at his central Hamilton home on Tuesday and is now facing a first-degree murder charge.
Three other people are also facing charges 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 home after the assault and stole a quantity of cash and valuables during a break-in.
The latest to be arrested, 38-year-old Daniel Holland, is said to have misled police during his first interview, according to detectives.
