An assault in late September in downtown Fredericton is now being investigated as a homicide after police say one of the victims, a 41-year-old man, died from his injuries.

The Fredericton Police Force had previously said they were investigating a serious assault that occurred in the early morning hours of Sept. 22 in the Tannery, a large courtyard area outside several bars, between King and Queen streets.

"Two men were assaulted, one seriously," police said in a statement On Sept. 29, a week after the assault took place.

Police also asked for any witnesses of the assault to come forward.

Then on Tuesday afternoon, police released photos of a group of men and said they were seeking the public's help to identify them in relation to the assault, but did not say if the men were suspects or witnesses.

A release issued Tuesday evening did not describe the nature of the assault or give any other details. A spokesperson for Fredericton police did not immediately respond to a CBC News request for more information.

Colorado officer who killed Black man holding cellphone mistaken for gun won't be prosecuted
A Colorado police officer who fatally shot a Black man holding what turned out to be a cellphone as police tried to arrest him will not be prosecuted, the district attorney announced Friday. Officer Michael Dieck told investigators that he believed Kilyn Lewis, who was wanted in connection with a shooting in Denver, was holding a gun in his right hand and was about to fire at the officers in neighboring Aurora on May 23, District Attorney John Kellner said in a letter explaining his decision. The other officers, who did not fire at Lewis, also described Lewis' actions as consistent with someone preparing to draw a weapon and otherwise fight with officers, Kellner said.
