One man has died following an assault nearly two weeks ago in downtown PG…

Police say on July 4, 2025 just after 4 AM, a witness reported seeing a man get hit over the head with a baseball bat near the 100 block of George Street. When officers arrived on scene, neither a victim or assailant were located.

“Surveillance from this initial investigation shows a man wearing a black jacket, white t-shirt and black pants get assaulted by another man wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt and jeans. We are looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed this event or who knows who the victim or suspect are,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Police were called to the same area two hours later, for a report of a man who had collapsed on the ground. The man was transported to the hospital; unfortunately, he did not survive his injuries.

Investigators have reason to suspect that the deceased may have been the victim of a second assault that is related to the initial investigation. Officers would like to speak with anyone who knows what happened to the deceased in the two hours between the initial assault and him being located unconscious on the street.

If you have any information that can help with this incident, please contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
