Youth charged with murder in 2024 Vancouver Island homicide
A youth has been charged with second-degree murder and released from custody in a case that began with a missing person report out of Nanaimo last year. The body of Tavis Cagg was found at a home in Lake Cowichan on Sept. 3, 2024, the same day he was reported missing, the RCMP's Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit said last year. A suspect was identified at the time and that person was arrested and charged on Wednesday, according to authorities. 'The suspect has been released by the court and is to abide by multiple court-ordered conditions. The youth's name cannot be released as it is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act,' a Thursday statement from the RCMP said. 'To preserve the integrity of the investigation and the judicial process, no further details will be provided.' When the homicide investigation was first announced, police described Cagg's killing as an 'isolated incident' but did not provide any details on how Cagg died, why his death was suspicious, or the relationship – if any – between the victim and suspect.

Shortly after his disappearance, Hall's mother, Lori Hall, said her son last sent a Snapchat message to a friend on March 14, 2024. 'He was in a living room or bedroom and did not look well.' The family was concerned that Hall may have overdosed, as he was not heard from after the message. Hall's father shared the news of his son's death on a social media page dedicated to finding him. Sheldon Hall asked the public for privacy as the family grieves. 'Kielan James Hall finally be at peace, my son. We will all see you in the next life,' he wrote. regan-elliott@ Read More Vancouver Canucks CFL News Vancouver Canucks Sports
