Youth aquitted on manslaughter charge

A youth has been acquitted on the charge of manslaughter related to the death of a man two years ago.

RCMP were called to a city apartment building November 30th, 2016 to reports of an injured man who later died in hospital.

At the time Mounties say it did not appear to be a random act.

In court Thursday, the family and friends of the victim were visibly upset by the ruling.
