‘The nicest people': Friends identify Maple Ridge, B.C., couple killed in apparent neighbour dispute
Friends have identified Bruce Richards and Roxanne Davidson as the couple killed in an apparent neighbour dispute in Maple Ridge, B.C., on July 23, 2025. Friends have identified the married couple killed in an apparent murder-suicide in Maple Ridge, B.C., as Bruce Richards and Roxanne Davidson. The two, both in their early 60s, were found dead alongside their dog inside their home Wednesday night following what police described as a 'neighbourhood dispute.' Investigators believe the man who killed them — a neighbour who lived just a few houses away — died by suicide hours later. 'This was so quick, so unexpected and senseless,' said Darryl Lucas, a close friend of the couple's who spoke to CTV News. Lucas said he met Richards in the 1980s when the two played rugby together at Simon Fraser University, and they remained good friends. He said Richards had worked for decades as a teacher in the Coquitlam School District, while Davidson was a financial advisor at TD Bank. Both had recently retired. 'They were living a retirement life we would all love to live and hope to get to,' he said. The couple left behind two sons and several grandchildren. Ridge Meadows RCMP said officers were first called to the area near 239 Street and 118 Avenue around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday for reports of a dispute among neighbours. No arrests were made. Four hours later, Mounties were called back for reports of a vehicle fire, a break-and-enter and gunshots. Officers found Richards, Davidson and their dog dead inside their home. The suspect reportedly returned to his residence nearby, armed with a weapon. Police said when the Lower Mainland's Emergency Response Team entered that home later in the evening, the man was found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted injury. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has not released any details about the suspect. Neighbours told CTV News there had been previous confrontations between the two households, including disputes over parking, but nothing that would have indicated violence of this scale. 'They were the nicest people,' Lucas said of the couple. 'Not a mean bone in their bodies.' 'This is a classic example of life not being fair, taking these two wonderful people way too early.' The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. has also launched a parallel investigation to determine whether any police action or inaction contributed to the deaths. The IIO investigates all incidents involving police where serious harm or death occurs, regardless of alleged misconduct. Both IHIT and the IIO remained at the scene Friday.

Suspect vehicle in fatal hit-and-run at Niagara area park set on fire in Mississauga: police
Investigators believe that as recently as July 22, at approximately 10:00 am, Rocchetti is still operating the victim's stolen 2012 grey Honda CRV. A stolen vehicle that struck and killed an 82-year-old man at a park in Lincoln, Ont., earlier this month was burned in Mississauga on Thursday. Niagara Regional Police said officers in Peel Region responded to a vehicle fire at 1875 North Sheridan Way just before 9 p.m. Investigators determined that the vehicle entered a green space off Springbank Road at 8:20 p.m. and was deliberately set on fire, police said. An individual was seen walking away from the area. Niagara police have since confirmed that the vehicle was the grey Honda CR-V that was stolen from Charles Daley Park in Lincoln, near the QEW and North Service Road, on the morning of July 17. Charles Daley Park Charles Daley Park is seen in this undated photo. (Town of Lincoln) The CR-V belonged to Larry Pearce. He was driving it out of the park when he was stopped by an unknown suspect near the park's front entrance. Police said the two had an interaction, which resulted in Pearce getting out of the CR-V and the suspect hopping into the driver's seat. Pearce tried to stop the suspect from driving away, standing in front of his vehicle, but police said he was hit and fell to the ground. He was taken to the hospital, where he died a day later. The suspect has since been identified as 50-year-old Davy Rocchetti, who is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for second-degree murder. Davy Rocchetti Niagara police are searching for 50-year-old Davy Rocchetti. He is wanted for second degree murder in connection with an 82-year-old's death. In a news release on Friday, police said Rocchetti remains at large. 'At this time, investigators do not believe he is still in possession of the dog; however, that may change as the investigation continues,' police said. Investigators are asking anyone with information, especially residents in the area around North Sheridan Way, Springbank Road, and Sevenoaks Drive in Mississauga, to contact them at 905-688-4111, option 3, extension 1009450, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
