A suspect has been arrested and charged in the killing of a 77-year-old Vancouver park caretaker late last year, police announced Monday.
In a news release, the Vancouver Police Department said a man in his 50s was taken into custody Saturday.
Brent Steven White is charged with one count of second-degree murder, and remains in custody, officers said.
White is accused in the death of Justus Daniel, the "beloved caretaker" of Vancouver's Tatlow Park, police said. The pair were acquaintances, according to the VPD.
Police said White does not have a criminal background with police, but was known to them.
No further information on the accused or his relationship with Daniel was provided, including a possible motive or what led them to White as a suspect.
The senior was found dead in his home on the grounds of the park on Dec. 10. Police said they believe Daniel was killed the day before his body was found.
