Police Investigating Haida Gwaii Suspicious Death

Police in Daajing Giids (formerly known as Queen Charlotte City) are investigating after a male suffered fatal injuries in a motor vehicle collision.

On April 22, 2025 at 1:17 p.m., the Daajing Giids RCMP say they received a report of a pedestrian-involved collision in the 200 block of Front Street in Skidegate. A vehicle reportedly struck the pedestrian who later died from his injuries.

North District Major Crime has taken conduct of the investigation and is travelling to the community. The Daajing Giids RCMP will continue to remain on scene and in the area.

“The investigation is in its infancy but police believe this was a targeted incident,” said Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP. “We are asking anyone with any information to speak with police rather than post to social media.”

Anyone with any information, including CCTV or dash camera video, is asked to contact the Daajing Giids RCMP at 250-559-4421.
