Charges have now been approved in connection with a fight inside a Port Coquitlam home that took the life of a 36-year-old man last weekend.
Coquitlam RCMP responded to a home in the 2300-block of Atkins Avenue early on November 4, and found a man suffering from serious injuries.
He was rushed to hospital but died of his injuries. A second man was arrested at the home.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation team said Monday that Elwood Poorman has been charged with second-degree murder, and is slated to make his first court appearance on Tuesday.
The victim has been identified as Jonathon Shingoose.
