Peter Herauf has been charged with first-degree murder in Ottawa’s 15th homicide of 2016, Ottawa police said Saturday night.
Earlier Saturday, police said 30-year-old Kayla Sullivan had died after being stabbed outside the Salvation Army in the ByWard Market on Friday.
Sullivan, who had been stabbed in the back, police said, died early Saturday morning after undergoing emergency surgery.
The Ottawa police major crimes unit said others were still being investigated in regard to an incident that took place after Sullivan was stabbed.
The 37-year-old Herauf was also charged with aggravated assault and possession of a dangerous weapon. He had been arrested in Gatineau by the Gatineau police following the incident Friday.
On Saturday, police said a man who was stabbed in the Friday incident and had originally been listed in serious condition had been upgraded to stable. It was also announced that charges were expected to be laid against a man in Gatineau police custody receiving treatment at a Gatineau hospital.
The man was expected to appear in court on Sunday.
Both Sullivan and the man were known to people who were watching police work the crime scene outside the Salvation Army’s Booth Centre as night fell on Friday.
Police, who’d been called along with tactical paramedics to George Street at 4:36 p.m., were talking to witnesses and reviewing video footage one had shot, Duty Insp. Mark Patterson said at the scene on Friday night.
“We have numerous witnesses … that are being co-operative right now, and we’ll hopefully be able to get proper statements from them to determine actually what transpired,” he said.
Patterson wouldn’t speculate on what sparked the violence.
Police believe that a first incident in which one victim was stabbed outside the centre led to a second incident in which the second victim was stabbed.
Forensic investigators were collecting evidence near the Booth Centre, but also up the street where a knife was spotted sticking out from under a garbage can. Two weapons had been recovered.
Samantha Warden, 18, said a man ran up behind the woman, a resident of another shelter who was standing on the street, attacked her, then fled through a nearby parking lot as the victim screamed: “I got stabbed, I got stabbed.”
A number of bystanders outside the Booth Centre then ran after the assailant and started beating him in an altercation in which both the assailant and the woman’s boyfriend were stabbed, she said.
“I think it was just a drug-related situation, a money and drug-related situation,” Warden said.
That was no surprise to Dave Bass, a 52-year-old resident of a nearby shelter who came to the Salvation Army to use the free Internet.
“I think it was over drugs – I can almost guarantee it,” he said, adding that’s what draws people to the nearby corner.
“This is one of the biggest areas of Ottawa they should clean up,” said Bass, who added he’s cleaned up his life after his own habit landed him behind bars. “They need to get the city’s attention on this.”
