On Thursday, April 14, 2016, at around 10 p.m., West Division officers were called to the area of 137 Street and 115 Avenue, after Thompson was located in critical condition. It was reported that approximately four or five suspects, wearing dark clothing with hoods, got out of a vehicle and allegedly struck Thompson multiple times with baseball bats and then fled the area in a vehicle.
Thompson died in hospital a few days later, on Saturday, April 16, 2016, as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.
