London Police have arrested a man in relation to Tuesday night's homicide in the city's SoHo district.

Charges against the man are pending and police say they're not looking for any more suspects.

Police also identified the man who was stabbed at a Grey Street home.

Roy Joseph Gowdy, 44, of London, died of his injuries after being taken to Victoria Hospital by paramedics.

Police spent Wednesday morning searching a schoolyard and surrounding properties for evidence in the case. They would not say if they have located the weapon used in the incident.

Emergency crews were called to a home on Grey Street just before 10 p.m. about a stabbing.

Emergency crews were called to a home on Grey Street just before 10 p.m. Tuesday about a stabbing. Paramedics rushed a man in his 40s to hospital, but he died a short time later. "We saw a whole bunch of cop cars and it was night, and it was just flashing and all kinds of stuff. We didn't know what was going on," said neighbour Ted Johnson.

Police say a man was seen leaving the scene after the stabbing.

Tenants moved in last summer

Police cordoned off the small bungalow on Grey Street, just west of Adelaide Street and south of Hamilton Road.

The home is divided into two units, one in the front and a smaller one in the back, said the representative of the property management company that oversees the home.

London police took their search to the schoolyard of Aberdeen Public School, less than a block away from the homicide scene. (Kate Dubinski/ CBC News) A couple in their 40s and an older woman lived in the front unit. Another couple lived in the back unit. The stabbing investigation appears to be focused on the front unit.

There had been no problems with the tenants of the front unit since they moved in last summer, a representative of the property management company said.

Neighbours say the street is usually quiet but that some of the rental properties have a transient population.

A man who lives next door to the home where the incident took place said sometimes the couple from the front unit would be out in the front, barbecuing.

"You don't expect that to happen to your next-door neighbour, whatever happened," said Forrest Enns. "It's kind of crazy that something like this would happen in our backyard. Makes you wonder if we're in a safe neighbourhood."

This is London's second homicide of 2018. In February, a woman was struck by a pickup truck and a man was charged with manslaughter.
