Police seek suspects in Hamilton homicide believed to be fuelled by road rage

Hamilton police say the slaying of a 20-year-old man over the weekend was likely motivated by road rage.

Police say Brock Beck was found early Sunday morning with injuries from what police describe as a stabbing attack, shortly after he had attended a gathering with about seven other people.

He was taken to hospital and pronounced dead later that day.

Investigators now say Beck and a 16-year-old youth were confronted by at least two strangers some time after leaving the gathering.

They allege there was a confrontation between Beck’s vehicle and a white sedan believed to be driven by the suspects shortly before the fatal attack.

Police say they’re looking for at least two suspects, but say more people may be involved.
