Bespflug was killed following an altercation on a Surrey, B.C., bus on April 11.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 20-year-old Kaiden Mintenko was arrested at a Burnaby home on Sunday.

He was charged with second-degree murder on Monday and remains in police custody.

Investigators said Monday that Mintenko and Bespflug were known to each other through a third party and the attack was not random.

The exact nature of their relationship has not yet been disclosed.

”I’m still living in a bad dream and I don’t know what the heck is going on,” Bespflug’s mother, Holly Indridson said. “It doesn’t seem real.”

Tuesday’s vigil will take place at 7 p.m. at the scene where Bespflug was stabbed near King George Boulevard and 100th Avenue.
