Premier David Eby spoke about Tori Dunn's death at a news conference Monday, calling her a "remarkable person."
"All of us want the same thing, which is the person responsible to be brought to justice and to be held accountable for this horrific crime," he said.
Police found 30-year-old Dunn suffering from life-threatening injuries in a home on 182A Street around 10 p.m. on June 16. She was taken to hospital but did not survive.
Police arrested a suspect nearby, who remains in custody for an unrelated charge but has not yet been charged with Dunn's killing, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
"Something went wrong here. Something went wrong," Eby said Monday. "An individual who was charged with a serious crime was brought in front of the court, the Crown said, ‘Please don't release this person, they're likely to offend, it will compromise the public's confidence in the justice system,’ and the judge applying the law decided to release that person where he allegedly went out and murdered another person. Something obviously went wrong here."
At a vigil over the weekend, Dunn's brother, Lee, also called for change.
