It's believed two of the attackers then drove Hoang's car to his residence after the assault and stole a quantity of cash and valuables during a break-in.

The latest to be arrested is believed to have remained inside the apartment on Main Street East with a fourth suspect preventing Hoang from leaving or seeking medical attention after being beaten.

Those two suspects would later jump out a rear window in the home and flee on foot as police arrived on scene.

Hoang died in hospital on Feb. 27, becoming the city’s second homicide victim of 2021.
