At approximately 8:30 p.m. on Monday, January 15, 2018, Northwest Division patrol officers were called to a residence in the area of 118 Avenue and 80 Street after a drug-related altercation occurred between several individuals in the home. This altercation resulted in the stabbing death of Katz, who succumbed to his injuries in hospital two days later.
The Edmonton Medical Examiner completed an autopsy on Jarvis Katz, 28, on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2018. It was determined that the cause of death was a stab wound, and the manner of death was homicide.
Charges have now been laid against two more individuals:
On Friday, April 20, 2018, Jonathan Sidney Burd, 48, was charged with second degree murder, possession of an offensive weapon dangerous to the public, and two breaches of probation.
Burd was incarcerated for unrelated offences at the time the charges were laid, which delayed the police investigation. Homicide detectives interviewed Burd on Friday, April 27, 2018 to complete the investigation into the murder of Jarvis Katz.
On Monday, April 30, 2018, Alexandra Friesen, 27, was arrested by Downtown Division patrol members in relation to the altercation that led to the death of Katz. She is charged with robbery and assault causing bodily harm against another individual who was also present in the home at the time of the incident.
As previously released by EPS Media Relations Unit on April 10, 2018, Douglas Ronald Hecht, 34, was arrested on Thursday, April 5, 2018 and charged with second degree murder and possession of an offensive weapon dangerous to the public in relation to the death of Jarvis Katz.
Every file is evaluated on a case by case basis. The EPS decided to release the name of the deceased as it served an investigative purpose.
