‘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.

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.

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.

Suspect arrested after University of New Mexico dorm shooting leaves 1 dead
Police vehicles are seen on the scene of a deadly shooting at a University of New Mexico residence that put the campus into lockdown. (KOAT) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — One person is dead and another wounded following a shooting early Friday at a University of New Mexico dormitory that prompted the evacuation of hundreds of students and a campuswide search for the suspect, who has since been taken into custody. University officials lifted a shelter in place order late Friday afternoon, saying there was still an active investigation and that the main campus in Albuquerque would remain closed. They said students were allowed to eat at the dining hall and return to their dorms but otherwise should avoid the crime scene. Mayor Tim Keller announced the arrest Friday evening, saying 'we are deeply grateful that the offender is now in custody.' The mayor did not release any information about the suspect or where and when the arrest took place. For much of the day, authorities had the area around the student housing complex cordoned off with yellow tape as police vehicles blocked roadways and investigators gathered. The two people shot were inside a dorm building where they had been visiting a student, but they were not students themselves, said Lt. Tim Delgado with the University of New Mexico Police Department. Authorities have yet to release any other details about who was shot. Police had evacuated parts of the campus earlier in the day. 'We had a student orientation going so there were like 400 kids in dorms, so we wanted to make sure they were safe,' Delgado said. Officials issued an initial alert just before 3:30 a.m. that a shooting had taken place. Campus police arrived at the Casas del Rio housing center to find two people with gunshot wounds -- one dead and the other with non-life-threatening injuries. Another alert asking people to shelter in place was sent out just after 6 a.m. Mikey Beck, who was staying in student housing this week as part of new student orientation, said he heard gunshots overnight and saw what appeared to be an injured person hiding in some bushes. Two other people jumped out of a dorm window and ran, he said. Beck said he was excited to start his freshman year but the incident was disconcerting. 'It's really sketchy out here. Just being in Albuquerque is really scary,' he said. Not far from the dorms, a line of university buses waited for students to board, many of them carrying backpacks and pulling small luggage carts with their belongings. The university was conducting a 'staged, tactical evacuation,' spokesperson Cinnamon Blair said in an emailed statement. People were told not to move without direction from campus police. The university in central Albuquerque has about 23,000 students during the school year. New students like Beck have been visiting as part of scheduled orientations ahead of the fall semester, which begins in about three weeks. An increased law enforcement presence on and around the campus was planned for coming days, university President Garnett Stokes said in a letter to the campus community. 'We understand this incident may be especially distressing for new students and their families who are here this week for orientation,' Garnett wrote. New Mexico's largest city has struggled with violent crime in recent years, particularly among juveniles. District Attorney Sam Bregman, who is running for the Democratic nomination for governor, has called for state lawmakers to do more to address what he describes as a crisis. The plea for legislative action comes amid violence in New Mexico involving young suspects, including a fatal hit-and-run in Albuquerque and a shooting in Las Cruces in March that killed three and wounded 15 others. Prosecutors, law enforcement and Republican lawmakers have pressed Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to convene a special legislative session to address the state's crime problem. Despite voicing her disappointment with the Democratic-controlled Legislature at the end of the last session, the governor has not given recent indications that she will be calling lawmakers back to Santa Fe.
