Hamilton police said officers were dispatched to the Hunter St. Espring Street area after receiving a 911 call.

When they arrived, police found a man stabbed. He was later pronounced dead.

Shortly after, “officials interacted with the suspect.” No details of the other interaction were provided, investigators said.

Hamilton police are investigating the incident as a homicide. At the same time, the special investigation department will inspect incidents involving police and suspects.

SIU is an independent government agency that investigates behaviors that may result in death, serious injury or sexual assault on police officers.
