Justin Mohrmann, 29, was stabbed while walking near Smithe and Homer streets on the morning of July 11, police said in a statement. He was taken to hospital but died a short time later. Police said they arrested Lindsay Scott, 34, on Sunday night and later charged her in the attack. Vancouver Police Department (VPD) Sgt. Steve Addison said investigators found no evidence to suggest Mohrmann and Scott knew each other. “We think they were foreigners,” he said. Addison said a 34-year-old woman was initially identified near the crime scene as a suspect when witnesses called 911 to report the stabbing around 8:30 a.m. PT on July 11. Police said they are continuing to collect evidence and are still looking for witnesses. “It was rush hour Monday morning. There were a lot of people out on the street … so we believe there may be additional people out there who have information,” Addison said. VPD said they are also investigating Scott’s movements before the murder. Anyone who believes they interacted with Scott on the morning of July 11 is asked to call homicide investigators at 604-717-2500. Addison described Scott as white with short brown hair, about five feet, six inches tall and weighing 110 pounds. He was wearing all black clothing at the time of the incident, he said. “Anyone who saw a woman matching this description, possibly acting out of the ordinary, is urged to come forward,” he said. Mohrmann’s death is Vancouver’s eighth homicide of 2022.
