VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – It’s a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time; homicide investigators say a man killed at Edmonds SkyTrain Station on Sunday didn’t know his attackers.

James Enright, 27, was there around 12:30 a.m.

“He just happened to be in the area when some other events were happening around him and as a result of someone approaching his friend and going after his friend, he stepped in to help his friend and as a result he’s now dead,” explains Sergeant Stephanie Ashton.

“There was a large group of people still present that remained at the scene, but by the time police arrived and determined what was happening, there were some people that may have key information that had left.”

Ashton says Enright’s family is very shaken up.

“Obviously this is very traumatic for them and they want us to solve this for them to find out who did this. This is why they specifically asked us to say thank you to the number of people that have come forward and to encourage everybody else out there to get in touch with us.”
