UPDATED: All three witnesses have been identified and we have removed their photos as a result.
Investigators with the HRP/RCMP Integrated Major Crime Unit are asking
for the public’s help in identifying three potential witnesses to the
assault that resulted in the death of 26-year-old Kaylin Todd Diggs.
On August 11 at 3:49 a.m., police responded to a disturbance in the
area of Argyle and Sackville Streets. Upon arrival, officers located
Kaylin Diggs lying on the ground. He was transported to hospital where
he passed away a short time later. An autopsy concluded he died as a
result of injuries sustained in the assault and has ruled his death as a
homicide.
Investigators believe there were many people in the area when the
incident occurred. We are asking everyone who was there who hasn’t
provided a statement or their personal information to police to contact
us. We are also releasing pictures of three women we believe were
present when the assault took place. Investigators are interested in
speaking to these women to determine what they may have observed.
Police are asking these women, or anyone with information about their
identity or this incident, to contact police at 490-5020. Anonymous tips
