A 23-year-old Vancouver man has been charged in the death of Kyle Vincent Gabriel last month in the West End.
Yasin Rashid has been charged with second degree murder in Gabriel’s death. Rashid is expected to make a brief appearance in Vancouver Provincial Court Friday.
VPD officers were called out to a fight between two men at 1125 Pendrell Street shortly after 8 p.m. on Sept. 10. Gabriel, 29, was found injured in the residence and later died at hospital.
Rashid was arrested the next day on unrelated charges and remains in custody.
Police allege the suspect assaulted a police officer and tried to injure a police dog.
Video of the arrest was posted on social media.
This was Vancouver’s seventh homicide of 2019.
