Photo: Brendan Kergin / Vancouver is Awesome. Police have released details of a homicide in Mount Pleasant that took place earlier in June for the first time. Vancouver police have been investigating the seventh homicide of the year for almost a month and have just released details. Around 4:30 p.m. On June 2, 2022, VPD officers responded to reports of an attack near East First Avenue and Main Street in Mount Pleasant, according to a press release. At the scene, they found 56-year-old Scott Carver, who was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries. He later sustained those injuries earlier this month, police say. A 61-year-old man who has not yet been named by the VPD has been arrested, but no charges have yet been filed. Vancouver Is Awesome has asked the VPD for more details on what happened and will update this story. The Major Crime Department is still investigating, but they believe the suspect and the victim knew each other. Please anyone who has information call 604-717-2500.
