Kamloops RCMP are looking for information after a youth was sent to the hospital with serious injuries after an early morning altercation.
Police received a report about someone in hospital with serious injuries around 3:15 a.m. March 14, according to a press release from police.
The actual incident happened in the North Shore several hours earlier.
The victim had been in a grey Volkswagen in the 700-block of Tranquille Road when an altercation happened with a group of people around 9:30 p.m. on March 13.
“During the altercation, one of the passengers in the vehicle was struck with an object and suffered a serious injury, requiring emergency surgery,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said in the release. “The victim, a teenager, remains in hospital. Details surrounding his condition are unknown at this time.”
People can expect to see police in the area today as officers including members from the Forensic Identification Services and General Investigation Support Services gather evidence.
“We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed, captured security video or dash camera footage, or been involved in the confrontation, to please come forward as soon as possible,” Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet said in the release. “If you have a business in the area, please review your CCTV from that night, paying particular attention for the grey Volkswagen, to help us further the investigation into what transpired.”
Anyone with information is urged to please contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2025-7161.
