The Peterborough Police Service has launched an active investigation following the death of a 25-year-old local resident early Saturday morning.
At approximately 2:00 a.m., officers were called to a parking lot in the area of Monaghan Road and Cameron Street after reports of a violent altercation. Upon arrival, police learned that the victim and a friend had been confronted by a group of five youths. During the encounter, the victim was stabbed, and the group fled the scene on foot.
