Same suspect charged in otherwise unconnected Vancouver and Surrey murders, police say
- Nahom Gizaw, 21, was taken into custody on May 8 at a location close to the intersection of East 29th Avenue and Rupert Street, and is charged with two counts of second-degree murder related to cases in Surrey and Vancouver.
- After two years of collaborative efforts, authorities from Vancouver and the city's homicide investigation unit connected Nahom Gizaw to separate murders committed in 2022 and 2023 across different municipalities.
- The victims were 18-year-old Maanav Kinkar, found dead in a Surrey park in May 2022, and 22-year-old Caleb Morin, stabbed at a Vancouver home on March 3, 2023.
- Police stated “the two murder victims had no connection,” but forensic evidence from diligent interagency work identified a single suspect in both cases.
- Gizaw remains in custody awaiting court, while police emphasize that the charge approval marks a significant milestone toward providing closure to families and communities.
