One man is dead following an altercation in downtown Kelowna Friday night.
RCMP said the altercation took place outside of a nightclub in the 200 block of Lawrence Avenue. The only nightclub in that immediate area is the Liquid Zoo at 274 Lawrence Avenue.
The victim was taken to Kelowna General Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.
According to RCMP, following the incident, officers saw one man fleeing the area on foot.

The homicide investigation has been turned over to the Kelowna Serious Crime Unit and investigators are continuing to canvas the area for evidence.
