VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver are investigating two separate homicides that occurred within a 24-hour span.

A news release from Vancouver police says paramedics called officers to an apartment in the city’s east end Friday afternoon.

Const. Jason Doucette says they found a deceased woman and some uninjured people, but it appears the suspect fled before emergency crews arrived.

The woman has not been identified and police have not released her cause of death, but Doucette says investigators do not believe it was a random incident.
