In the early hours of July 23, 2003, witnesses observed Paul NEILSON being chased by a group of 6 native males in the area of 108A Avenue and 95th Street.
The group caught up to Paul and savagely beat, kicked, and stabbed him, leaving him bleeding on the road. Police discovered Paul’s body at 4:20 a.m. and EMS was called to the scene where they pronounced Paul dead at the scene.
The motive for the attack is unknown. It is believed that witnesses who spoke to local television stations departed Edmonton shortly after the murder.
