The Medical Examiner has positively identified the lone male suspect shooter as being 53-year-old Phu Lam, who died from a self-inflicted gun-shot wound. He was the partner of Thuy Tien Truong.
Next of kin have all since been notified. Homicide Section detectives will continue to investigate all aspects of the multiple homicide. Surviving family members are also being offered resources from the service’s Victim Services Unit.
Background:
Southwest Division members responded to a weapon’s complaint around 6:52 p.m., Monday, Dec. 29, 2014, near Haswell Court and 16 Avenue. Upon arrival, members discovered a deceased middle-aged female.
Later Monday evening, North Division patrol officers responded to a suspicious circumstances call at an address near 83 Street and 180 Avenue at approximately 9:44 p.m., returning to the same address at approximately midnight, following a secondary check-on-welfare call involving a suicidal male.
At that time, officers were unable to locate the suicidal male in question, but upon entry, discovered the bodies of seven deceased individuals; three adult females, two adult males and two children, one female and one male.
Homicide detectives, with the assistance of Ft. Saskatchewan RCMP, subsequently located a deceased male at a restaurant in that city, located approximately 40 kms northeast of Edmonton, who matched the description of the suicidal male allegedly associated with the second homicide scene at 83 Street and 180 Avenue.
